Morph Application Platform

• Tripled Bandwidth. Developers can now enjoy triple the bandwidth that we initially offered. See the Morph Application Platform information page for details.
• Production Log. Developers can now directly inspect their application's production logs. In the settings page of your AppSpace subscription, click on Prod Logs and select the compute instance whose production log you want to view.
• Rake Tasks. You may now run rake tasks right on your AppSpace. While in the settings page of your AppSpace, click on Rake Tasks. Select the rake task you want to execute and input arguments if necessary. Click Submit and watch your rake task go.
• Retired AppSpace Sizes. We can now retire AppSpace sizes. When a size is retired, it will no longer be visible from the sizes drop-down field although existing AppSpaces that are already using it will continue to run under that size. We recommend switching to the next possible size when you find that the size you're using has already been retired.
• Reserved Subdomains. Previously, when an AppSpace subscription is created, the subdomain assigned to it will redirect to the Morph eXchange homepage if the application is not yet active. We've changed this behavior so that subdomain will now show that it's been reserved for a particular AppSpace subscription.
• Redirected Domains. Redirected domains, from the start, are only available to paid AppSpace subscriptions. However, we've been making this field available even if the AppSpace subscription is free. This has been confusing for developers on the free plan. We've changed it now so that the field is only visible in subscriptions that have a base price.
• Change AppSpace sizes without stopping the process. Previously, developers had to stop their application's process before they can switch over to another size. We've changed this so that you won't have to. Change the size anytime you like and we'll take care of the rest!
• Ruport gem. Ruport 1.6.0 and its dependencies are now available in our servers. Specifically, the following gems were installed along with Ruport: fastercsv-1.2.3, archive-tar-minitar-0.5.2, color-1.4.0, transaction-simple-1.4.0, pdf-writer-1.1.8.
