APPLICATION MANAGEMENT FOR RAILS™

building elegant and powerful rails ™ applications rapidly is important. ensuring that they perform properly once deployed in your enterprise is even more important. a poorly performing or unavailable businesscritical application can have a devastating impact on your bottom line, negating the benefits of rails development. The FiveRuns Management Suite for Rails SOLUTIONS FOR DEV/QA Start on solid ground with a reliable Rails environment and be ready to develop, profile, and deploy your applications using only the best tools

While you may have done a great job designing a well-behaved production Rails application, the fact is you won’t know how well it will truly perform until you monitor and respond to it in a production environment. Currently these are difficult, if not impossible tasks for operations and admin teams to do because: Managing the performance and availability of Rails applications involves not only managing Rails itself, but also Rails in the context of the underlying interactive and frequently updated infrastructure of hardware and software such as web servers, databases, software libraries and network infrastructure components. There are no hooks or APIs in Rails which can be used as a collection mechanism in order to view its performance

SOLUTIONS FOR OPS/ADMIN Manage your Rails applications and support infrastructure simply and easily
