Engine Yard |
|
 |
Rely on Engine Yard: 70 people, two data centers, and four continents. Engine Yard came about in early 2006 because we saw a genuine need: customers were developing business-critical Rails apps, but they didn’t want to worry about deployment issues, nor did they want to hire IT staff to manage servers. Instead, customers wanted Rails-focused 24/7 operations support, great infrastructure, and a smooth path from one to one million users. We handle deployment and maintenance, so you can focus on building your application and running your business. Our deep roots in the Ruby and Rails communities, combined with our commitment to driving the next generation of Ruby technologies, offer our customers the peace of mind of knowing their applications are managed by a team of true technical experts. Engine Yard is invested in the future of Ruby and Rails communities, and is helping foster and lead development by supporting open source projects like Merb and Rubinius. |
Accio Data : Enterprise-level Ruby Applications | |
 |
Accio Data markets a SAAS employment screening platform to background investigation firms, and our core application logic is all in Ruby. Why? Lower development costs, easier testing, faster deployment, and more fun help us differentiate ourselves from our competitors. Our president, Barry Boes, was first introduced to Ruby by a passionate coworker, Jim Freeze. Barry returned the favor by introducing Jim to wakeboarding, and carries the pictures to prove it. We’re proud to be a sponsor of the Lone Star Ruby Conference. |
