As an application developer, if you’ve ever used shared hosting service for hosting and serving up your web sites and applications, you know how unreliable the hosting becomes once you start getting a decent amount of traffic. Things just don’t scale. At that point, the most logical thing to do is to ditch the traditional shared hosting service in favor of dedicated cloud servers such as Amazon EC2.
Because the knowledge and experience of an infrastructure engineers is quite different from that of the software engineers (web application developers) managing cloud hosting becomes hard and cumbersome for the software developers.
This is where flexflux comes in. Co-founders Kei Kubo and Hiro Fukami came up with an idea to provide standardized redundantly distributed multi-layered servers with auto-scaling, load balancing and replication to developers who are not comfortable setting up servers for their web services.
Their goal is to forge innovation in the shared web service hosting industry by changing the way of hosting services in each of development, deployment, management and payment phases. Users can use their service as easily and as inexpensively as traditional shared hosting services, but with the difference of professional redundantly distributed multi-layered scalable infrastructure.
This Wednesday at SF New Tech, Kei will show you how easy it is to develop web applications and publish them in distributed servers with fluxflex.
