saruby-cloud | demo app from the SA Ruby presentation

saruby-cloud is a Ruby library. saruby-cloud has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This is the application that I demoed at the 4/28/2009 SARuby meeting. It is a picture uploading/converting application that is completely run in the Amazon cloud: EC2/S3/CloudFront/SQS/SimpleDB. The application has a web component, which is where you upload your pictures, and a async processing component that converts these images to different sizes, applies effects, etc. This is very much a demonstration application. Slides used for the presentation can be found here:There are a few things you need to do to get this app running. 1 - Setup your AWS keys in either your environment (development mode), or 2) put them in the proper txt files (production mode - see production.rb). 2 - Install the proper gems. rake install:gems should do the trick. 3 - Using the right_aws tools, you need to setup several things. -Setup your cloud front distribution acf = RightAws::AcfInterface.new dist = acf.create_distribution 'UPLOAD_BUCKET.s3.amazonaws.com', 'desc'. 4 - Substitute YOUR_CLOUDFRONT_DISTRIBUTION_NAME in picture.rb with your new distribution name. 5 - If running in production, edit application_controller.rb and replace pictr.yourdomain.com with the proper name. 6 - Install a Georgia.ttf font in files/ See convert_job.rb (this was used for the text overlay in the pictures).
