Deploying Hanami 2.0 Ruby application on AWS

The deployment of Ruby on Rails and Rack frameworks is embedded in Cloud 66’s DNA, but we are always interested to see other Ruby frameworks becoming popular, and happy to support developers who prefer to use them instead of Rails. In this post, we’re going to show you how easy it is to deploy a Hanami Ruby application on AWS cloud with Cloud 66. The recent Hanami v2.0 release brought a lot of incremental upgrades to the framework, which made it more mature.

One Cloud 66, One Product

We started Cloud 66 with a single product to deploy any Rails application to any cloud. Then, in 2014, we introduced Cloud 66 for Node; in 2015, Cloud 66 Maestro v1, 2016 Cloud 66 Maestro v2 (Kubernetes), 2019 Cloud 66 Skycap, and finally, Cloud 66 Prepress (Static Sites) was released in 2022. All these products exist to serve a single purpose: deployment of any application to any cloud. Today we are making it easier to do that: we are consolidating all our products into one: Cloud 66!

Cloud 66 Celebrates 10-year Anniversary

Cloud 66 turned ten this year! While this is a big deal for us, I understand that it is not important to you. After all, who cares if a company turns 10, right?

We are no longer a scrappy startup with only big dreams to keep us going. Today, hundreds of customers rely on us daily for critical parts of their business.

Review changes before deploying to production - Build. Preview. Deploy.

Whether you have two or two dozen developers working on features for your product, updates can introduce bugs or unwanted changes. Therefore, before merging a feature branch to production, you can review all the changes with our preview deployment feature. It allows you and your team to quickly and easily check that the latest changes work as desired. It also allows you to share feedback and helps prevent “it worked on my machine” scenarios.

Changelog 11th August 2022

We have rolled out our new "operation log viewer." This feature is not just a facelift of our logging interface but a whole new way to view and search logs for actions taken by you and your team on your applications. The new viewer supports historical deployment logs, allowing you to see logs from previous actions. In addition, you can see logs for background operations like renewing your SSL certificates.
