My Professional Blog

Today I woke up to find that every single one of my Rails apps hosted at Media Temple were down and would not restart.  I received no notifications whatsoever and am somewhat baffled as to why this is the case.

I am actively coding on one app, but the other two are pretty much unchanged.  As such, I don’t believe there’s anything that I’ve done to cause this.

I do have the 64MB container, so I know I’d be pushing the limits if they all were popular.  The fact is, I actually have only two of the three up at any given time, so I thought I could squeeze in within that smallish container.  Upgrading to the next bigger size is something that I have not wanted to do because I haven’t felt completely comfortable since Day One.

Anyone else have experiences to share with Media Temple?  I’m about to pack up my toys and go play somewhere else.  I was seduced by the Grid Container concept, but I am about ready to declare that it may not be ready for prime time — and its not like I’m doing much here either!
