Engine Yard provides managed hosting services for Ruby On Rails applications. The early success of Rails-powered sites like Basecamp and the professed ease of developing web apps quickly has led to an explosion of applications written for Ruby on Rails.

Engine Yard simplifies the process of hosting large-scale Ruby on Rails sites and allows developers to concentrate on building and selling their application. By buying “slices” from Engine Yard instead of buying individual servers developers can easily grow their hosting. Have growing traffic and need more capacity? Buy more slices. Engine Yard ensures that your slices are distributed across multiple servers for scalability and reliability.

Engine Yard was founded in Sacramento and moved to SF in late 2007.
