Dancing in the cloud – deploying Dancer apps to dotcloud
by bigpresh on Apr.30, 2011, under Dancer web framework
Marco Fontani wrote up an excellent blog post on deploying Dancer apps to DotCloud’s beta.
DotCloud is a PaaS (platform as a service) hosting platform currently in beta, running on Amazon EC2. It promises dead-easy deployment of Perl web applications. (DotCloud announced Perl support as CaaS (Camel as a Service) recently.)
Marco’s write-up shows that it is indeed simple; push your Dancer app to DotCloud, and it figures out the dependencies, installs them, and starts it up. As the little meerkat would say, “simples!”.
