Announcing Prepress v2

Today I am very excited to announce a major new version of Cloud 66 Prepress, our No Ops tool for deploying static sites. Last year we released Prepress to help our customers deploy static sites to AWS S3. With support for Jekyll, Hugo, and Gatsby, Prepress is everything you need to deploy your static site to your account on all major cloud providers. Today, we are taking Prepress to a whole new level.

Deploy a Go app from repo to AWS

We are going to deploy a Go application directly from your repo to AWS with Cloud 66. Any application using any language on any framework can be deployed with Cloud 66 as long as it has a Dockerfile. Note: Rails applications are exceptions as we deploy them natively. If your application does not have a Dockerfile, we will suggest one for you based on your code. However, we would recommend reviewing what we have suggested and making sure the Dockerfile meets your requirements.

15 features that make life simpler for web development agencies

As developers, we know how much work great software requires. We know that you need to focus on multiple things at once to release awesome, custom-made applications for your clients. We know the last thing you want to spend time doing is fiddling with servers and stressing about downtime. That's why we've made it possible to deploy your code directly from your repo to any cloud in just a few clicks.

Adding Super Fast Frontend Search in Rails with Lunr

This is the first part of a multi-part post focusing (mostly) on front end search and Command Palettes. If you are not familiar with Command Palettes, they are a power-user's dream: a universal overlay on your webpage that's triggered with a key shortcut (usually Command + K) and allows your users not only to search the content but also perform actions on your website. The goal here is to "keep the user's hands on the keyboard" (and away from the mouse), when using your application.
