summary
Chronicle of Rails from 2004 to now: early Rails 0.6 powers a newspaper site handling 400,000 dynamic hits a day, sparks work on deployment that becomes Engine Yard (launched 2006), pivots onto AWS in 2009, later helps build Cloud Foundry, and now launches Trinity Labs making desktop 3D printers sold as a $1,200 kit with 300×250×200 mm build volume, 40 µm resolution, M5 nut printing in ~2 minutes, dual-extruder/PVA support planned, unified web-based slicer, and open-source hardware and software.
