Deploying options

So what server we can use to host rails app?

1. Heroku
2. Brightbox
3. AWS EC2
4. OpenShift
5. Dedicated/VPS Server

Heroku getting started guide

• rails 4: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-rails4

Dedicated Server

There are quite a lot tutorials discussing how to deploy the rails app to linode. I found this one helpful to me.

Although the steps are based on linode, it should be quite similar to deploy on the other self-managed server.

Monitoring Exceptions

gem 'exception_notification', :require => 'exception_notifier'
