Summary

This gem accelerates your rails public directory by transparently pushing it out to an edge-cache at deployment-time.

Will allow you to serve assets superfast to all your customers.

Requires that you have an aws account, and sign up for amazon s3 and cloudfront.

Usage

	require 'xlr8/capistrano' # add to your Capfile

	require 'xlr8/tasks' # add to your Rakefile

Create a RAILS_ROOT/config/xlr8.yml:

 bucket: "my-bucket" 
 aws_access_key_id: <blah>
 aws_secret_access_key: <blah>

That's it!

How it Works

As part of your cap deploy, xlr8 will :

• package up all your assets
• version them
• push them to s3
• create an edge-cache distribution in amazon cloudfront if possible
• update the ' ActionController::Base.asset_host' setting in environment.rb to

Your rails install will transparently start pointing at your blindingly fast asset locations!
