Active Interview is fully deployed through Amazon Web Services (AWS). The Active Interview Web application is written using the Ruby on Rails framework, with the primary Nginx/Passenger/Rails Web servers running on Linux-flavored Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances.
“Deploying a Rails app to [Amazon] EC2 couldn’t be easier,” says Active Interview co-founder Sandeep Ghael. Active Interview originally looked at other cloud vendors but chose Amazon for its credibility—particularly the AWS libraries for Ruby, Python, and Java developers. “The Rails community support for AWS is fantastic, and the solutions are really well vetted and understood by the developer community,” says Ghael.
