The Morph Application Platform For Ruby on Rails . Morph Labs has developed the next generation elastic Ruby on Rails deployment, delivery and management system. Automated deployment, version management, 7/24 monitoring, load balancing, routing, database instances, continuous backups, elastic sizing and high availability are just a few of the features of the managed service application platform. Using GRID computing resources from Amazon EC2 and S3 this new generation Web 2.0 system helps developers to quickly bring applications to life and take away the complexities of configuring hardware and software. Developers can now focus their time on innovation instead of administration. Take the Morph Application for a spin at www.morphexchange.com
