We just upgraded our infrastructure to latest Ruby, Postgres, Rails (3.0 not later than that), Unicorn and switched from Node.js to Pubnub.

We will discuss our use of Rubber, how we came to those decisions and the different things we discovered while doing the steps below, as well as how this has affected our performance in our site.

This month we are sponsored by EdgeCast and SMCI.

As always, the meetup will start at 7pm, with talks starting around 7:30pm. Drinks and food are provided.

io/LA has a parking structure directly behind the building, and you can enter off El Cerrito Pl (which intersects with Hollywood Blvd). Mention LA Dev/Ops to the attendent, who will drop the cost of parking to $6 (from $13). Also notice this location is close to public transportation. Here is a map: http://goo.gl/maps/iAbKG

See you there!
