Rails management riding in at conference

TAGS: Application development

FiveRuns is announcing on Thursday FiveRuns' Management Suite for Rails, a hosted service providing application lifecycle management for Ruby on Rails application development.

Being announced at the RailsConf 2007 event in Portland, Ore., the suite automates the setup and maintenance of an integrated Rails development environment and ensures Rails applications perform well in production, FiveRuns said. The suite was built as an extension to the company’s Enterprise Management Platform, a hosted service introduced last August.

The first product in the suite, RM-Manage (Rails Management) manages the production performance and availability of Rails applications in the context of underlying hardware and software such as Web servers and databases. Transactional analysis also is featured. It is available now.

A second product, RM-Install, follows in June. It deals with installing and configuring of software components and supports platforms such as Windows and Linux. RM-Install features a Rails stack with binaries for Ruby, Rails, the MySQL database and other libraries.

The final three products in the suite are due later this year. They include RM-Develop, RM-Deploy and RM-End-to-End.

RM-Install is free but maintenance services are available for $49 per server per year. RM-Manage is offered at a subscription pricing model starting at $20 per server per month.
