Ruby on Rails Development Setup for Beginners

Today we will install Ruby on Rails (RoR) on a Debian Linux operating system (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS). With that said, RoR is compatible with other operating systems with just a few tweaks. This blog will assist you in installing RoR with a simple step-by-step process. Your installation may differ, for other operating systems refer to this site. I am new to developing and have been using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, a flavor of Debian Linux, for my projects.

Deploy a Jekyll site to AWS S3 using GitHub Actions

In this tutorial, I will show you how to build and deploy a Jekyll static site to AWS S3 + Cloudfront using GitHub Actions. At PagerTree we use GitHub Actions to automate the building and deploying of our marketing site pagertree.com. These days, if you have to do anything manually more than a couple of times, you should probably be automating it. GitHub Actions make it easy to automate software workflows.

PagerTree Forms Integration

Today, we are excited to announce a new integration - PagerTree Forms! PagerTree Forms are simple (PagerTree hosted) forms that can be made public so your customers can quickly create an alert outside the PagerTree ecosystem. PagerTree Forms also support custom CNAMES so you can host them on your own domain (ex: https://support.example.com). The CNAME option is secured via HTTPS using self signed Let’s Encrypt certificates.

Public Team Calendars

Today, we are excited to announce PagerTree has added support for public calendars! Public calendars allow you to share a team’s on-call calendar with the rest of the world. Public Calendars are available on our Pro and Elite pricing plans. If you don’t already have an account, sign up for a free-trial now. By default, all calendars are private, so to make use of this feature you must enable it.

More Chatbots - Slack, Mattermost, Microsoft Teams, and Google Chat

Today, we are excited to announce PagerTree has added 3 new chatbot services including Mattermost, Microsoft Teams and Google Hangouts Chat (this is in addition to our core Slack notification channel). Chatbots are available on all pricing tiers free of charge! :) If you don’t already have an account, sign up for a free-trial now. Our chatbots are will post alert details to a “channel” of your choice.

Schedule Rotations

Today, we are excited to announce PagerTree now officially supports schedule rotations! A long awaited feature and requested by many customers, with schedule rotations it’s now easier than ever to schedule a list (or “rotation”) of people for full coverage support. Schedule rotations are available on our Pro and Elite pricing plans and are technically a subset of our “recurring schedules” feature.
