bcartier Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Has anyone had any experience hosting ProcessWire (or anything else) on Jelastic? http://jelastic.com It looks like a great way to deploy and host PW sites... -Brent
Joss Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I messed around with it when it was in beta and ran several instances of Liferay on it. During beta testing they were very helpful. We discovered that a normal instance was not powerful enough to run Liferay - so they just upped it so that it was without batting an eyelid! It was a bit lumpy, (it was in beta), but generally was pretty impressive and the scalability of it was very clever - though I was only messing around with it and did not use it for lots of traffic. I have not used it since it became a full commercial proposition. But it was certainly answering a demand for Java servers that is otherwise not well covered.
bcartier Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks Joss, It still feels a bit 'lumpy' based on the free trial I signed up for recently. But I do like the idea of a one-click PW site creation and deployment...
Joss Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I just had a quick look and it had changed very little from when I tried - except it was Tomcat only back then. You do have to watch costs with it - each time you add something like MySQL (or MariaDB) the cost goes up. Storage is reasonably prices though.
