Cloud 66 Feature Highlight: Registered Servers
What are Registered Servers? Registered Servers are a simple way to create a pool of servers on private and public cloud that can be used on any stack and configuration. Applications can be deployed across a hybrid of cloud and registered servers, in this way you could have a dedicated server for your database and burst cloud servers for your front end.
Adding Search to Rails with MeiliSearch
There are many ways to add search functionality to a Rails application. While many Rails developers choose to use the native search functionality built into popular databases like MySQL and Postgres, others need more flexible or feature rich search functionality. ElasticSearch is probably the most well known option available but it has its own issues. Firstly, it is a resource hungry beast. To run ElasticSearch properly in production, you need a few beefy servers.
Ubuntu 20.04 Now Supported!
Announcing support for Ubuntu 20.04 on all Cloud 66 products (including registered servers). From this point onward, brand new applications will have Ubuntu 20.04 installed. We will continue to install Ubuntu 18.04 when scaling up servers in an existing application. Don't forget, you can control your target Ubuntu version through your manifest! It has been a while in the building and testing (and dependency pruning), but we are now very pleased to make it public.
