ViennaStreetStyle

Some days ago my first Rails application went live:

ViennaStreetstyle.com - ViennaStreetStyle is a simple photo gallery showing people on the streets of Vienna, Austria presenting their own style of street fashion.

I developed this application for friends of mine who had the idea for ViennaStreetstyle.com.

Development was quite straight-forward without any kind of a big suprise by using the following plugins/libraries:

  • attachment_fu
    For uploading and handling the images
  • geokit
    for locating the shots on the map of Vienna
  • YM4R
    Greatest plugin for doing all the GoogleMaps stuff
  • prototip
    Javascript library for easy rendering of complex tooltips

The whole system is running on a busy 256 MB VPS under Mongrel with 2 server instances (so in best condition to get slashdotted or sth like that).
But it is somehow an experiment for me how far you can go with that low server specs.
