I recently delivered an N-able N-central Bootcamp called 15 things you can (and should) automate, shortly after that I also delivered another bootcamp called 15 MORE things you can (and should) automate.

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.
