Interview with Heroku’s Adam Wiggins
InfoQ has a 16 min video interview with Adam Wiggins from Heroku. In the interview, Adam discusses Ruby 1.9, the Heroku dyno solution, new add-on support, and how they support background jobs. He also talks a little about using Erlang to supplement their Ruby infrastructure. I really enjoyed the discussion on how they pre-compile, build/bundle gems, and deploy each new version of your app using their infrastructure.
