Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. I think I'll just test the difference solutions out on free test accounts and see which one works best for me. -- View this message in context: http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Hosting-Tapestry-App-on-Cloud-tp5717236p5717301.html Sent from the Tap

I've been using VPS style hosting for almost 10 years now, switched to Amazon about 5 years ago and my current thought is I will never buy hardware again. I ended up with AWS because the various VPS venders I was using would come and go and switching was too much work. My thought is AWS is here to

Thanks guys, I'll have to get some help with the image processing. So does $350/mo seem a bit steep for our own dedicated box? I guess I don't know how to value our current services. -- View this message in context: http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Hosting-Tapestry-App-on-Cloud-tp5717236p5

Sounds like you need a services based approach. This is outside the scope of tapestry. We for example use web services and JavaEE for this type of situation. On Oct 25, 2012, at 4:12 PM, George Christman wrote: > We currently have one box doing all the work which is probably less than > idea

We currently have one box doing all the work which is probably less than ideal. I really never gave it a thought to use AWS or a VPS to do the image processing. I have an image processing service within my T5 app, how would you tell tapestry to use a different server to handle this, or is my thinki

Who do you guys recommend for VPS? I'd rather get out of owning my own box. Our current hosting cost is 350/mo for a 2 space rack. This includes a 45mb pipe, but does not include hardware cost. -- View this message in context: http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Hosting-Tapestry-App-on-Clou

If you are not expecting exploding growth, I wouldn't move onto a cloud platform. It's difficult to beat the price/performance ratio of a VPS/dedicated platform. You really need to have some traffic on the system before you need the out-scalability for a reasonably well implemented Tapestry app. O
