I have recently started learning about Software as a Service and Cloud computing. Often I see people mentioning Rails framework while talking about SAAS and cloud computing and I was wondering why?
Is there anything special related to cloud computing & SAAS in Rails’ framework & tooling as compared to others for example Microsoft’s .Net and Azure? Or have I misunderstood and it is just the coincidence that I heard about Rails and SAAS/Cloud computing together?
$ git push heroku master
The deployment approach using Heroku (PaaS) and Github (SaaS) had (still has) a huge impact on how web applications are built and deployed. The automatic acceptance of that mechanism by the Ruby community means that deploying to the cloud is second nature and part of the rails DNA. Package management (gems), and again their automatic support, also helped.
