Amit. Thank you for this. I'm having trouble deploying from git. Deployment fails at the last step "The system cannot find the batch label specified - ExecuteCmd" Have you run into this?

Dru, In NService Bus, you can use the bus.CreateInstance<T> method to create an object without a class definition.. I'm curious about your thoughts on this approach rather than having to create the class in code.

Phillip,

Yep.. I'm looking into this.. We have a few other issues that we're trying to get straightened out at the moment.. Thanks for the heads up.

Also I'm in the process of using NGINX for the app server tier of the site as well, and have yet to get this setup going.. This should allow us to run on smaller middle tier servers.

Dmitri,

I would have thought the same, but we did attempt to host on one server at first. Apache2 with PHP/Wordpress and our traffic levels, brought another similar cloud hosted server to its knees. I had to up the RAM to 2 G, and provide three processors before the site was stable.

It seems with the cloud products out there, you end up paying a lot more when you increase your ram, but at small levels of ram (256-500M) your costs are very low. And once you have a good automated deployment strategy like using Fabric, it is so easy to scale this way, it doesn't make any sense not to.

These are very small, very disposable linux cloud slices. I'm very much in favor of small repeatable servers, and having this setup to allow scaling should we need it.
