Martin Streicher provides a practical example of how to use Amazon
CloudFront and Amazon S3 to manage files for a sample Rails application.
If your web site is flourishing, you've probably realized that success
is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, a growing audience and
increased traffic furthers your goal—be it communication, commerce, or
community. On the other hand, the additional page views and the
incumbent demands on bandwidth, processor cycles, and storage may seem
daunting. Ironically, mushrooming traffic can torpedo a burgeoning site.
But before you run off to lease more bandwidth or purchase additional
rack-mount servers, consider delegating some of the busy work your
servers currently contend with to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon
S3) and the Amazon CloudFront content-delivery network. In particular,
Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront can unburden your servers from the chore
of serving static content. Delivering assets from a specialized network
reserves compute power for computation.
