Shelly Cloud was shut down on March 31st, 2016
Shelly Cloud was a Ruby application hosting service that made deployments painless.
It gave high speed servers, really simple deployment and full control over the cloud layout. Shelly was easy to use and developer-centric. You could host a full stack application for just €20 per month.
It was providing following services:
- Ruby on Rails and any other Ruby framework support through Rack
- Deployment using Git push
- PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch and Redis databases with automatic and free backups
- Local file storage with no extra setup required
- Available caching at HTTP level using Varnish and at application level with Memcached
- Cloud layout configuration using YAML file
- A great support team that personally helped in deploying to Shelly at no extra cost
Thank you!
Shelly Cloud started in 2010 as an internal project of Ragnarson, a Ruby consulting company we were working for. We built it to solve the problems we had when deploying apps that we developed for our customers. In 2012 we decided to spin it off into a separate business. During this time we have learned a lot about building products, both from the technical and business perspectives.
We would like to say thank you to our customers, for trust and being with us for years. Building Shelly Cloud wouldn't be possible without you.
We would also thank all people who were a part of our team in the past: Katarzyna Jarmołkowicz, Ignacy Kasperowicz, Dominik Koślin, Dominika Kucharska, Michał Kwiatkowski, Barbara Niewiadomska, Łukasz Piestrzeniewicz, Szymon Szypulski and Stanisław Tuszyński.

We migrated our system to @ShellyCloud.

The process was Fast&Easy™ and the support amazing! <3http://t.co/CDRK68wajq
With @ShellyCloud our heavier requests went down from 330 ms to 200 ms -> no need for optimizations, caching or rewriting as client-side app

Just tried @ShellyCloud for the first time. Very smooth, I'd recommend them. @lukkrys had you heard of them? #Rails #Poland

@ShellyCloud saved the day again. 2 minutes after a failure, I get a personal email, and 5 minutes more to get it up. Wow!

@ShellyCloud Really sad to hear. Shelly Cloud worked really well for us and your support was great.

Migrate your server from heroku to @ShellyCloud in 1 hour wow it's fast :)

Thanks @ShellyCloud, since moving my #rubyonrails app to your service I’ve seen increased performance at half the cost of my last host!
— David Bayendor (@bayendor) April 30, 2015
@ShellyCloud 1:53 minutes in, got a complex app deployed, reconfigured the servers and running super-fast. i think i love you!

Deployed our @rubycorns app on @ShellyCloud today - it was a breeze and now our uploads are even persistent between deploys #jay

I'm impressed by the @ShellyCloud support response time. It's always less than 10 minutes, no matter the time of the day.
— Andrzej Krzywda (@andrzejkrzywda)November 25, 2013
I have to repeat it. @ShellyCloud has awesome support.

A week ago, questioned @ShellyCloud about settings variables in production. Quick answer and now a great wiki page! https://shellycloud.com/documentation/environment_variables
— Level Up Solutions (@levups)September 16, 2013
So, @shellycloud has servers in Roubaix (OVH). That's why it is 12x cheaper than Heroku (Amazon EC2) with 2x faster response time.
— Clément Joubert (@czj)September 5, 2013
Never heard of @ShellyCloud before. I guess it’s a Heroku-like service in Poland.
— Mike Perham (@mperham)February 19, 2013
Last year, my Rails class was supported by the @ShellyCloud Rails hosting - highly recommended - thanks!

Very sad to hear that @ShellyCloud is closing down. It was a great alternative to Heroku.

Moved our app from @heroku to @ShellyCloud. The performance, price, deployments and most of all support is fantastic! Try it!

@shellycloud provides good Git-based Ruby hosting, and might even host your open source project for free.

Replying to @bragiragnarson @bragiragnarson @andrzejkrzywda @ShellyCloud can you beat @heroku? I just used it after a while break and damn, it deploys things fast!
— (((Hubert Łępicki))) (@hubertlepicki)February 24, 2014
Replying to @Futurefabric @Futurefabric - I use @ShellyCloud for a couple of sites. Can be cheaper, but depends on your heroku setup/addons. Great support.
