I completely missed the actual publishing of Engine Yard’s latest press release announcing Lighthouse and Github on a new private cluster. I just wanted to take this chance to thank Engine Yard for all the support they have given us over the past year. With just the two man team in ActiveReload bootstrapping the application from their own pockets, there’s no way we would have had the time to do our client work, write Lighthouse, and set up a scalable clustered infrastructure too. Their knowledgeable staff has helped keep the database tuned and speedy, migrated us to the faster Thin web server, and gave us a much larger caching server to keep everything snappy.
I also noticed that New Relic finally emerged from stealth mode. We’ve been using their monitoring system for several months now and have been very pleased. I’ll be posting more on that later.
Disclaimer: Naturally, our opinions may be tainted a bit by the donated hosting provided by Engineyard.

Could you please elaborate on your partnership. For profit companies do not just give away services to other for profit companies out of kindness. I assume engine yard were given shares in your company, or are getting a percentage in revenue from lighthouse?
I don’t mean to sound like I am accusing you of anything, what you do is your business. I am just genuinely interested.
They get Lighthouse accounts for their customers and we get hosting. We all get publicity.
The Engineyard hosting is worth about the same as the Lighthouse accounts they get for their customers, if you’re interested.
