Automate Rake Tasks

#365 Sep 4, 2022 free

When rake tasks need to be part of a deployment, you could find yourself in a situation where the rake task was forgotten about or have to go through the process of shelling into the environment to execute the tasks. In this episode, we look at addressing these issues by creating a way to have rake tasks execute automatically.

Easy Infrastructure

#355 Jun 26, 2022 pro

Continuing on from the previous episode, we look at creating a Docker Swarm cluster and using Traefik to load balance and route requests to various applications. Using this and CloudFlare proxies, we're able to create and deploy hobby applications in minutes.

Easy Deployments

#354 Jun 19, 2022 pro

I often create Rails projects and while some of these applications are fairly simple, deployment to a production environment still requires a lot of infrastructure setup. In this episode, we take a look at creating a Rails project template and being able to deploy it to a production environment within minutes.

AWS App Runner

#298 May 30, 2021 pro

Amazon's newest hosting service, App Runner, makes it fairly easy to deploy web services. In this episode, we take a look at some of the issues with App Runner as well as how we can deploy a Docker container image to the service. We also dive into building Docker images from an Apple M1 computer and pushing to Elastic Container Registry.

Deploying to Amazon Linux 2

#285 Feb 28, 2021 pro

I recently upgraded Drifting Ruby's site from Ruby 2.6 to Ruby 2.7 as part of some general maintenance. The Beanstalk instance was using an older version of Amazon Linux. During the upgrade process, I discovered that it wasn't a simple transition. In this episode, we look at the discovery path and how to successfully deploy your Ruby on Rails application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk with Amazon Linux 2 and Ruby 2.7.

We look into the way I streamline the management of my deployments, SSH and status of applications. This makes it easier to switch between projects without having to refer to notes of how each application should deploy.

Deploying to Heroku

#248 Jun 28, 2020 pro

Heroku is a Platform as a Service (PaaS), where you can deploy and manage your Ruby on Rails applications. It is one of the easiest platforms to deploy to; allowing you to focus on the development side of things instead of worrying about managing an infrastructure.

Creating Health Checks

#208 Sep 22, 2019 pro

Health Checks are an important part of monitoring an application's health. However, a simple status response may not be sufficient. In this episode, we look at creating a health check which monitors some dependencies of a Rails application.

AWS Security Groups and Deploying Rails 6 to Beanstalk

#203 Aug 18, 2019 pro

Back in Episode #106, we configured and deployed to a very simple AWS Beanstalk environment. However, in this episode, we take things a bit further and explore security groups, an existing database and redis service. Also, there are a few changes that we have to do in order to get Rails 6 working within Beanstalk.
