What We Do > Overview > Areas of Expertise > Scaling on Demand
The word's out on your new Rails site. People are Digg-ing it like crazy and you're getting mentions on more than a few blogs. Your team's ready to break out the champagne when it hits you: you'll never be able to handle all this traffic.
"We might have a problem," you announce to nobody in particular, "the hosting company's going to shut down the site."
Too many websites have become victims of their own success, and glimpses of several of them flash through your head. You do not want to join that list.
You know you've got to scale up your site's capacity immediately, but you really can't afford a bunch of new, expensive hardware. Fortunately, ADS has the perfect solution - flexible, rapid scaling, on demand with Amazon Web Services.
Using Amazon's robust technology infrastructure, we give your site the storage and power it needs, with no limits. Because Amazon Web Services let you pay only for what you use, you're able to keep your site running at full capacity while keeping operating costs down.
With the combination of Amazon Web Services and the RightScale dashboard giving your Rails site the ability to scale up or down on-demand, you don't have to worry about the hosting company anymore. You're ready to handle all the traffic you can get. And with 24x7 monitoring and management provided by ADS Mantis, you can rest assured that your application has someone ensuring it stays up and running.
Time to get the team back together and break out that champagne.
With the flexibility to scale your site's capacity up or down as needed, you're sure to always meet your users' needs. But what about yours? How do you take the wealth of data and information you're collecting about your business and customers and make it work for you? ADS can put accurate real-time data about your business at your fingertips, so you can make critical business decisions quickly and confidently. Data warehousing and mining - it's another of our areas of expertise.
