Implementing Rails 3.1...

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Rewrites a prototype zero to production in two months using Rails 3.1, Backbone.js, CoffeeScript, jQuery, Sass and CouchDB on EC2; builds an app that deploys open‑source stacks and ships examples like Rails, Tomcat, BIRT stacks and a BigCouch cluster, and does go live on Amazon EC2. Reports concrete failures: asset pipeline issues across RCs, bundler snapshots causing inconsistent installs, Compass incompatibilities, and CouchDB tradeoffs—safer on disk but slower and needing optimistic‑locking workarounds—plus a separate devops carve‑out that makes deployment viable.
