RDS readonly access
#AWS
Posted on

I had to give readonly access to my Amazon PostgresSQL RDS today and I thought I'd document the steps here for anyone else that might need and to speed up the process next time I do it. It's pretty quick so this will be a short post.

Rails, AWS EC2 and Rubber deployment
#Rails

I'm back onto server setup on AWS and this time I have to setup a Rails application running on an EC2 instance. After a bit of searching I came across rubber to help automate the process and followed along with a Railscast to understand the process better.

Amazon Beanstalk and Rails setup
#Rails
Posted on

I've recently had to setup an existing Ruby on Rails application to run on Amazon Beanstalk. The application uses a PostgreSQL database but also needed support for PostGIS which is a spatial database extender for a PostgreSQL object-relational database. It adds support for geographic objects allowing location queries to be run in SQL. It has taken me quite a while to get the application up and running so I thought it would be a good idea to document the whole process here to hopefully help others (and myself when I need to setup another application on Beanstalk!).

I'm pretty much a total newbie to setting up servers so I'd really appreciate tips on how to automate the steps below to speed up the process.

It's been quite some time since my last post as it's been pretty hectic with a new job, kids, etc. It's time to get back in the habit of writing again!
