If its for production use, I would think about it twice, and analyze the other options first.

Everything on Amazon automated with chef and OpsWork

Nginx, Elasticsearch, Unicorn, Ruby on Rails, Javascript, Redis, Postgres and HTML/CSS.

ASK HN: Whats the best AWS server to host RoR app

Posted by mmenafra on Thursday March 27, 2014 @01:30PM
from the self-post dept.

Hi,Am using AWS E2C to host our RoR app using Opswork. Am currently using a c1.medium instance for our production app. In a few days AWS is cutting down prices and I would want to move to a new instance. My question is What should I look at when choosing a new instance for a RoR app? lots of RAM ? high CPU usage? from what I can tell in my new relic metrics I should go for a large RAM instance....

Re:Ask HN: Heroku or AWS or? on Monday March 17, 2014 @10:17AM (#7415103)
Hey,

So I understand there can be hassle on how setup your own VPS Server on services like amazon, etc... but sticking to Heroku still isn't that cheep either.

If you have your Heroku app "production Ready" you might still be costing you 200 bucks a month.

Also Heroku isnt as stable and performant as for example amazon server. I migrated my app out of heroku to Amazon and got a 5X increase in performance while spending the same money I did on heroku, not to mention you have more controller over your servers where you can play around and increase performace even more.

And don't worry about setting up your own servers in amazon, Now youcan use OpsWork for deploying your apps, and its like having heroku on Amazon servers plus Root access to them.

cheers
