One Ruby Gem = easy EC2 computing cloud.
Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud provides pay-per-use scalability to the masses. However, clouds do not have innate load-balancing ability, and there is no native failover solution.
PoolParty is an open source tool that automates deployment, monitoring, and load balancing of EC2 instances. Configure once, and relax by the poolside -- PoolParty will keep your site and its instances afloat.
