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.
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!

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.
