This translates to faster loading times, improved responsiveness, and a better overall user experience.

How to deploy Ruby on Rails?
Deploying your Ruby on Rails application on OVHcloud is a straightforward process. Here's a simplified guide to get you started:
- Choose your hosting plan: Select the OVHcloud Rails hosting solution that best suits your needs, just like you would for php hosting. Options include VPS, and dedicated servers, each offering different levels of performance and control.
- Set up your environment: Access your server via SSH. Install Ruby, Rails, and any required dependencies using your package manager (e.g., apt-get or yum). Configure your database (e.g., PostgreSQL or MySQL).
- Prepare your application: Ensure your Rails application code is ready for deployment. Commit your code to a Git repository (e.g., GitHub, GitLab) for easy version control.
- Deploy your code: Use a deployment tool like Capistrano or Mina to automate the deployment process. Configure your deployment tool to connect to your OVHcloud server and deploy your code from your Git repository.
- Configure your web server and databases: Set up a VPS web server like Nginx or Apache to serve your Rails application and communicate with your Rails application server (e.g., Puma or Unicorn).
- Verify your deployment: Access your application in your web browser to ensure it's running correctly. Test all features and functionality to confirm everything works as expected.
