+## Spree on Ninefold
+
+#### Why is Spree fantastic?
+
+[Spree](https://spreecommerce.com/storefront) is one of the largest open source software projects in the world -- not just ecommerce software -- but of anything! Spree is a full featured e-commerce platform written for the Ruby on Rails framework. It is designed to make programming commerce applications easier by making several assumptions about what most developers need to get started. 
+
+That being said, Rails developers are the target audience for Spree - not business owners. Spree seeks to be the platform that developers use as the foundation for their project rather than having to start from scratch.
+
+#### Getting Started
+
+If you are a developer that is new to Spree, Spree has an excellent tutorial to walk through [here](https://guides.spreecommerce.com/developer/getting_started_tutorial.html). 
+
+#### Deploying to Ninefold
+
+Spree has an easy to follow guide from Ninefold that makes it easy to deploy. Follow the tutorial [here](https://guides.spreecommerce.com/developer/ninefold.html).
+
+#### Infrastructure 
+
+Spree is a complex app and can quickly go through a lot of resources. If the Spree store will serve real traffic (~ 100 concurrent users), Ninefold recommends a Production setup like the following:
+
+* 2 X 1.5GB Web servers (aka 2 web servers)
+* 1 X 1.5GB Database server
+* 1 X 1.5GB Worker server
+
+Of course, your inventory and code greatly affect what is the best infrastructure for the app. Ninefold recommends conducting load testing with a combination of [Flood.io](https://flood.io/) and [New Relic](www.newrelic.com) as we did [here](http://ninefold.com/spree/).
+
+#### Wrap-up
+
+1. Learn Spree
+2. Deploy Spree to Ninefold
+3. Something (maybe finding something to sell!)
+4. Profit
