Tech Release: Rodauth, Docker and AWS

Our user database has been successfully migrated from AuthLogic (that we’ve used from the very beginning of JetRockets) to Rodauth. Why Rodauth? Because it brings great architecture practices (I’ve always wanted to have authentication before application) to the Rails world. It is modular and has great build-in features. Another reason is that we are working on a new feature (we will tell you soon what is it) that requires OneTribe to be OAuth2 authentication provider. Rodauth allows you to build OAuth2 server and maintain configurations for web and API auth in a single manner, this is great.

We migrated to AWS from DigitalOcean (the main reason was because Amazon gave us $5000 credits for infrastructure) and implemented new CI/CD process based on Docker and GitHub actions.
