"Rails on AWS" is a book that helps you to truly understand the AWS cloud and shows you how to directly connect it with Rails application. Only real-world code examples ready to use.
Before I truly understood AWS, I did not feel comfortable with cloud and DevOps things as a software engineer. Depending mostly on Heroku, I was not able to create architecture for more complex applications. When I become CTO, I decided to push my knowledge far behind my boundaries and comfort zone.
Since then, I never looked back the same way at applications and challenges related to building and maintaining web applications.
In "Rails on AWS" you will understand how AWS services are working as well as how their pricing is structured. I will show you how to write Ruby code that communicates with Cloud and how to prepare the Rails application to easily deploy it in the cloud environment.
After reading the book, you will be able to:
- Securely manage different files with AWS S3
- Deploy Rails applications using AWS Fargate and ECS services
- Collect logs on AWS CloudWatch and scale your infrastructure based on them
- Say goodbye to Devise and use AWS Cognito for authentication
- Use AWS RDS for PostgreSQL and MySQL databases
- ... and much more!
