Morph AppSpace PHP

We've recently released a public beta of Morph AppSpace PHP using the same technologies and process automation tools that we adopted for Morph AppSpace Rails and Java. Now, developers have more choices regarding what languages and frameworks to adopt.

Morph AppCloud, warm standby database, auto-install, and more!

• Morph AppCloud. Built on Morph AppSpace, Morph AppCloud gives you the ability to create a private cloud to run multiple Web applications. Using a graphical cloud designer, components of your personalized cloud may be setup and automatically provisioned within a few minutes. Morph AppCloud leverages Amazon Web Services, including Amazon EC2 and S3 to deliver on-demand compute power and storage, respectively. Learn more.


• Auto-Install. This feature allows users to instantly deploy and utilize any of the available open source applications -- El Dorado, Substruct, Tracks, Radiant CMS, and Beast -- to Morph AppSpace. To get started, click here for an introductory video.


• Warm Standby Database. We've recently gone live with our warm standby database server. The way this works is that we have another standby database server that constantly retrieves the incremental backups created from the main database. The benefits are a) there is always a complete and ready backup, and b) in case of failure, all we have to do is let the warm standby retrieve the last incremental backup and switch over to it. This should take 1-2 minutes at most, and will ensure virtually no downtime. We still keep the full and incremental backups as well so, even if both machines fail, the data is safe and the downtime is still manageable.
  Join our upcoming webinar, "Agnostic Database Replication with Binary Logs" for a demonstration of this feature.


• Push Domains to Front Balancers (FBs) on Save
  Previously, when you wanted to change your full domain name, you had to make sure to stop and then re-start your AppSpace so that the new changes will take effect in the front balancers. We've recently fixed this so that changes immediately take effect after you save your new domain name.
