In this episode of Running in Production, Chris Oliver goes over how he builds and deploys his screencast tutorial platform called GoRails. The site handles about 2 million page views a year on a single $20 / month DigitalOcean server. GoRails has been up and running since 2014.
There’s a lot of useful nuggets of information in this episode around keeping a pulse on similar communities that you’re in. For example, Chris took a lot of inspiration from Laravel when it came to implementing the billing code for GoRails. Spoiler alert: Rails does scale.
