DevOps Day LA lightening talk proposal
For OKCupid Labs' opal.io project we decided to roll our own devops on an EC2 instance for our web facing node.js app. It took some extra work but using some classic tools like monit we were able to have a stable place for deployment which also afforded some nice touches like deployment via git. I'll walk through using upstart, monit, syslog -> loggly (json logging), mosh, and git post-recieve hooks with examples of configs and things that bit me along the way.
