Try Drupal Program

This issue is about getting simplytest.me ready for the Try Drupal Program .

Background

simplytest.me was to be included on the Try Drupal page in the early mockups but got removed out in order to honor the significant financial investment of hosting partners as a first stage. After many people on Twitter and Drupal.org said that they still wanted to have simplytest.me included on the page, the Drupal Association (Joshua Mitchell) got in contact with me and discussed how this can be done. They pointed out that they expect a lot of traffic going to the Try Drupal sites and that I should make sure that simplytest.me is able to handle this traffic. While I'm busy doing that they will try to visually include simplytest.me in a way that still honors the financial investment of the other partners.

Service changes

ordered by importance

  • make the front webserver of simplytest.me able to handle a lot more requests [✓]
  • make backend able to simultaneously host a lot more sandboxes [✓]
  • change sandbox default runtime from 30 minutes to 24 hours [✓]
  • get an SSL certificate and encrypt all traffic with https [✓]
  • make sandbox URLs shorter (http://s6e25a29a08cf5a8.s3.simplytest.me/ -> https://efsy.ply.st/) [✓]

These changes are introduced at https://new.simplytest.me/ which will later replace the current simplytest.me site.
