Really excited about what's in today's newsletter. So, I'll keep the intro short, but I do want to tell you about two very cool things: 1) last week we launched Jelastic in Russian with our partner Rusonyx! 2) Next week, look out for another really cool announcement (US).

How to build fail-safe Clusters, and then how to do it the easy way!
One of the best ways to make sure that your website can handle spikes in traffic and high loads is to build Clusters into your website solution.
GlassFish is one application server that allows you to build this great feature into your website and applications. In our how-to, we show you how to do this the traditional way: by setting up two hardware nodes and two servers (one for databases and another for load balancing), install the JVM, configure the cluster, setting up the load balancing for HA, configure the databases and then deploy your application.
You can do it that way, or you can do it the easy way: just a few clicks within your Jelastic dashboard.
Moving your blog from Posterous to WordPress or Blogger
Since Twitter acquired Posterous, there has been a lot of speculation on whether or not it will be safe to continue using it for blogs. To be on the safe side, our friend Matt Woodard did a how-to on moving your blog from Posterous to either WordPress or Blogger.
These are the steps for moving to WordPress:
- Create an account on wordpress.com if you don't already have one
- Create a new blog (the free one is fine)
- Click on "Tools" and then "Import" on the left-hand side
- Click on "Posterous" in the list of import tools that comes up
- Enter your Posterous login information and the URL for your Posterous site and click submit
- Wait
- Click on "Tools" and then "Export" on the left-hand side
- Leave the "All Content" radio button checked if you want everything (or choose what you want to export) and click "Download Export File"
- Go to the WordPress install where you want to import the blog content
- Click on "Tools" and then "Import" on the left-hand side
- Click on "WordPress"
- Select the export file you downloaded from wordpress.com and click "Upload file and import"
