Engine Yard Configuration

Ruby interface to additional services for customers of Engine Yard.

Synopsis

EY::Config.get(:shared_db_r_us, "db_hostname")

This will read the value for the db_hostname variable, as provided by the shared_db_r_us service.

In local development mode, you won't have access to the service, so you'll want to use ey_config_local command-line tool to write out a file at "config/ey_services_config_local.yml". It's OK to commit this file to your repository. It will be used as a fallback in production in case you haven't activated the shared_db_r_us for a given environment.

See the Code Snippet documentation for individual services to see what variables they provide, and common usages.

How it works

When you deploy your app on Engine Yard cloud, the deployment system (https://github.com/engineyard/engineyard-serverside) will write out the file "config/ey_services_config_deploy.yml". This file contains all the variables provided to your app, grouped by the Add-ons you have activated.

EY::Config.get will read variables from this file, or fallback to "config/ey_services_config_local.yml", which you should create for running your app in development mode.

That's it!
