   Have a look at "Web Operations". It deals with all the components of building and operating a large web application. http://www.amazon.com/Web-Operations-Keeping-Data-Time/dp/14...

   I'd suggest reading this if you want to be a technical co founder. There's more to running a successful web app than building it.

   "How complex systems fail" by Dr. Richard Cook makes exactly this point – all complex systems are, by definition, running in a degraded mode, with catastrophe just around the corner. They are keep up through a series of gambles – and you never hear about the good ones.

   Interesting it is written by a doctor about medical environments, but works for any complex system.

   The essay is reproduced in Web Operations by John Allspaw and Jesse Robbins with a web ops spin on it, and is also available online at http://www.ctlab.org/documents/How%20Complex%20Systems%20Fai...

   Hi I am trying my hand in writing a SaaS application.

   I have been reading blogs by Eric Ries and others. I am reading through Web Operations book by John Allspaw and I am determined to make sure I have Continuous Deployment for my SaaS.

   Right now, I have a AWS EC2 instance running.

   My SaaS application is 50% ready.

   I use Git for Version Control and Capistrano to deploy though frankly I don't really grok the Capistrano script.

   I hired a Linux expert from UK via elance to help me with installing multiple SSL certificates on a single AWS EC2 instance.

   However, he is not that familiar with Capistrano and continuous deployment tools like Hudson, etc and he is unavailable for the next 2 weeks.

   Searching through elance and oDesk using keywords like Hudson, Buildbot, Capistrano, Selenium, etc leads me nowhere.

   Most providers on those websites specialized in software programming and not continuous deployment.

   How do I hire a freelancer to help me in this area?

   Note: I am based in Asia if that makes any difference.
