Deploy beta app #14

Open kdbanman opened 9 years ago

kdbanman commented 9 years ago

For final deployment, we need two servers:

static file server for the compiled Ember app. "disquo.io"
reverse proxy server for relaying CORS requests. "cors.disquo.io"

I see two options for this:

1. Both servers on the same machine.

Benefits:

simpler DNS configuration
could eventually be packaged into a single NPM module, with virtual host, proxy, and file server

Drawbacks:

need a third server on the machine for virtual hosting between the other two servers, which means we need to be careful with request/response headers
2. github.io for file server, and dedicated machine for proxy

Benefits:

reliable static file server
easy to deploy application changes
simpler dedicated machine - single server process instead of three

Drawbacks:

code in two different places
