The announcement of the new generation of PaaS and cloud architecture for developers

Today we are announcing a new modular architecture designed to give developers more precise control of the development environment and a greater choice of components, deployment options and infrastructure. These capabilities offer a complete solution, allowing developers to effectively plan, build, deploy, and manage their applications.
With an optimal balance of automation and control, Engine Yard frees developers from having to strictly comply with the supplier’s platform, enabling them to build and scale their cloud applications faster, easier and more consistently.

• You can choose the necessary infrastructure. Do not like Amazon AWS - you can choose another one or even merge several infrastructures in one cluster!
• Now there are RoR, NodeJS and PHP in the cloud, but others will be added.
• PaaS in a private or hybrid cloud!

Our new architecture is currently being gradually integrated into Engine Yard Cloud. With a new, flexible and modular approach, developers will be able to more easily select the components and services offered by Engine Yard or incorporate their own. Supporting multiple infrastructures will allow developers to choose the right infrastructure provider for them. Developers will also be able to deploy applications in a private, hybrid and public cloud, and have access to an ever-growing number of programming languages, operating systems and databases. New features will allow developers to monitor their applications during all development cycles. In addition, the new user interface will allow users to use proven designs (blueprints) of deployment options, create and save their own.

Flexibility and control

With the help of the new architecture, Engine Yard continues to be a leader in the industry, offering the most flexible, scalable and customer-oriented cloud of applications on the market. New features on the Engine Yard platform include today:
Cluster model - Developers can create clusters designed for specific tasks to speed up application configuration and deployment. Developers can now run database clusters, and will soon be able to run clusters consisting of applications alone and utility processes alone; Clusters within a single environment can be distributed across multiple regions for disaster recovery.

Abstraction from infrastructure

Using a complex level of infrastructure abstraction, developers can use a growing number of IaaS providers or take advantage of the ability to deploy in a hybrid or private cloud.
Monitoring and Alerting - The Automated Control and Alert Agent is currently part of all new deployments in the Engine Yard Cloud. Thanks to the AppFirst monitoring engine, data on incidents in applications, components and other processes running on the developer's virtual machine are available to you. In addition, alert and monitoring of virtual infrastructure resources are available, including processors, memory and disk space.

Today, Engine Yard announces a new user interface and the possibility of using and creating structures (blueprints).

Powerful, dynamic user interface - A modern user interface will help developers plan projects, manage virtual environments intuitively and create both a stable architecture and adapt it to growing requests.

New design approach

Three new designs will allow developers to standardize their applications using Engine Yard's proven practices. These designs will allow you to choose the size of their development environment, the ability to add and remove clusters and components as needed.
