At Moneyspyder, we started developing our Ruby on Rails Ecommerce system nearly three years ago. As we progressed through the prototyping stage we recognised that we needed a serious hosting partner who had good Rails experience.
We know we are great when it comes to Ecommerce strategy and Ecommerce technology - our clients tell us! We didn't want to divert our attention away from our core business so we needed a fully outsourced infrastructure team. Someone who could support us. Someone who we could work with to grow our product and share in our success.
There was a clear winner in the market place: Engine Yard.
Read more about our partnership and how we grew as a company on the Engineyard Q & A section.
High Performance E-Commerce Solutions. We provide a range of E-Commerce solutions for retailers of all shapes and sizes. With our applied expertise we build businesses as well as websites.

Downtime is bad, right?
Not always no. This week we did a pretty large update to www.beautifulpure.com involving some lengthy database work. Whilst this is happening, of course transactions cannot happen on the site.
So, we do this work in the dead of night and plan the downtime. With appropriate planning, testing the deployment as well as testing the new functionality and faultless procedural execution of the deployment we still met our 99.9% uptime SLA.
Overall for this year we are running at 99.91% which roughly equates to 6.5 hours of downtime accross all clients for the whole year so far.
The next part of this analyis will take into account planned vs unplanned downtime and of the unplanned downtime - what time of day did it occur?
Watch this space.

We grow!
We're really happy to announce a new weapon in our armoury: Rowan Cox has joined Moneyspyder. Rowan is essentially a Java guru but has taken to Rails like a duck to water.
Working on one of our skunk works projects (4 to roll out during Q1 '08) at the minute, most of the fruits of Rowan's labours will remain under wraps for now but Rowan will be making major contributions to our core e-commerce engine as well.
Welcome Rowan!
