Re: PaaS recommendations

you are looking for
I suppose.

I use a single file for all x versions (local dev, stage, live, ...) this way
it also enables you to know which environment you are at (domain etc)

as for the schema migration:

Hello,

I'm trying to lighten my load of System Administration tasks and focus
on development.

I believe using a PaaS type service might help me here. Does the
CakePHP community have any recommendations/experiences?

So far I'm looked at PHPFog and Orchestra (by Engine Yard).

The stand out problems I have are on Shell Tasks and
staging/production database configuration files.

PHPFog has environment variables, so I can specify if an instance is
staging/production and thus knows what DB configuration to use.

Orchestra is nice, and I believe has a sane cron job like API. As for
above problem I believe a domain check will have to suffice.

Though the problem here is no domain/environment variable when doing a
cron job/shell task, so the application doesn't know which DB to hit.

Lastly, I would like to have access to some sort of command line where
I can run Schema migrations.

Asking too much?
