Grockit is live in Amazon’s EC2! This means faster performance for our users and reduced hosting costs for us!

We recently posted about moving our test suite into the cloud and how it resulted in a 90% decrease in our build time. We’ve now moved our entire site into the cloud as well.

Nathan Sobo, Grockit Director of Engineering, explains,”Other providers may offer value-added services and support, but our engineers have all the expertise we need to administer our production environment.  We simply don’t want to house and maintain the physical hardware.  EC2 is a great choice for us because of its narrow focus.  It gives us flexible access to the raw commodity of computation,  storage at minimal cost, and allows us deal with the rest on our own.”

We hope you enjoy our latest effort to make Grockit faster and more enjoyable for you to use!
