Ruby on Rails Friday, July 26, 2013

What would you classify as killing your budget? You will probably need to give more background information, such as how large are the DB's (<100MB?, 1GB? 10GB?) and how processor intensive each app is (are you doing any background image re sizing using imagemagick?). Do you need all the apps to be running off of one dedicated box, one VPS, or does it not matter?


As others have said, heroku gets expensive fast, but they are reliable. You can get rather cheap VPS's from various places such as digitalocean or OVH, heck, you can even get a lame dedicated server from OVH now for a measly five bucks a month. Amazon allows you to get a micro instance for free for a year if you are a new customer, so you can try that out as a starting point if you are interested in using amazon. You can also rent instances from amazon on an hourly rate, so if you want you can rent their highest level instance as a spot instance for less than thirty cents an hour, giving you an idea of how much ram and storage you need.
