Just a quick question to those of you using merb and sequel or datamapper. How do you setup your merb app? For example: merb -X off -c 5, then run mod_proxy_balancer or nginx to load balance between the 5 (or whatever #) of merb nodes? merb -X off -d, then simply use something like proxypass merb -c 5, keep the mutex lock and cluster it haproxy, swiftiply, evented mongrel...... What I''m curious about is if you are using sequel, do you typically remove those mutex locks? If so, is there a benefit still in running a clustered mongrel setup? Just curious to how others are setting up their applications. Right now I''m removing the mutex lock and setting up a cluster of 5 behind proxy_balancer and its working great. However, I was just curious to what others are doing. Thanks. Its looking great. I especially love the new provides :xml, :text, ... in the responder. Really nice idea. -Dusty Doris

merb/sequel mutex on or off? proxy_balancer or no?
Dusty- I usually turn off the mutex and use evented mongrel. gem install swiftiply then when you start merb: EVENT=1 merb -X off Cheers- -Ezra On Nov 7, 2007, at 7:05 AM, Dusty Doris wrote:> Just a quick question to those of you using merb and sequel or > datamapper.
