Rails 2.3.9 on App Engine with DataMapper

Rails 2.3.9 on App Engine (DataMapper)

Do not use rvm (or install and run from JRuby). The google-appengine gem must install into your system MRI. The appengine-sdk gem includes a complete Java app server. We bootstrap Java from MRI, then your app runs inside a servlet container (with access to all the APIs) using the version of JRuby installed into each app.

We assumed Rails 2 would never work without rubygems, and we committed to gem bunlder for JRuby on App Engine, so we were waiting for Rails 3. Fortunately, Takeru Sasaki was able to patch the Rails 2.3.x calls to rubygems, and now we have it working. Rails 2.3.x currently spins up several seconds faster than Rails 3, and just a few seconds behind Sinatra.

See the TInyDS version also: gist.github.com/gists/269075

Latency Numbers Every Programmer Should Know
Latency Comparison Numbers (~2012)
----------------------------------
L1 cache reference 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict 5 ns
L2 cache reference 7 ns 14x L1 cache
Mutex lock/unlock 25 ns
Main memory reference 100 ns 20x L2 cache, 200x L1 cache
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy 3,000 ns 3 us
Send 1K bytes over 1 Gbps network 10,000 ns 10 us
Read 4K randomly from SSD* 150,000 ns 150 us ~1GB/sec SSD

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

  • One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
  • A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

  • Unison for file synchronization
  • EncFS for folder encryption
