It would be an interesting topic. I bet there are quite a few. I just released one that 1/2 runs on Mongrel. http://direxionfunds.com It was released before it was _quite_ ready, but the last of the content is getting inserted today. I am still waffling on how I will leave it running longterm. Right now it uses a slightly modified version of the Mongrel http parser with EventMachine to front IOWA, all reached via an Apache proxy, but I am also alternately running it under Mongrel 0.13.4 in its entirety, with an IOWA handler, and comparing the performance patterns now that real users are hitting the site. The site is completely dynamic, with all content and navigation generated from data inserted into a database via a simple CMS system, and all fund performance information pulled from a db that is updated automatically via data feeds. There is also a second, by-login-only site that sits on top of this one, in the same URL space, so if you are an investment professional, you login, and then index.html and other parts of the site show you different things. Performance in this setup is better than anything except maybe one using fcgi (the site should peak at about 200 dynamic reqs/second, which is WAAAY more than it''ll ever get), but this is brain dead simple to setup and manage, so I like it much more than I like fcgi, and I can toggle pure Mongrel or Mongrel/EM hybrid operation in about 2 seconds, too. Good stuff. I am pleased with what you have brought to the table with Mongrel, Zed. Thanks for your continued work. Kirk Haines

I separated the classifier code from the parser code in the extension and moved the classifier into a separate file altogether. I changed it so that the server name, server port, http version, etc... goes into a separate hash from the values that the http parser parses out. That''s about it. Just some little things. Kirk
Add www.gradswanted.com and the soon to be launched www.campuschai.com to the list. I owe it big time to zed, before mongrel, I was suffering in fastcgi land with no end in sight. Lighttpd made it slightly better, but mongrel was paradise. Zed, THANK YOU. Sunder On 10/4/06, Kirk Haines <wyhaines at gmail.com> wrote:> > It would be an interesting topic.

I''ve been meaning to mention that I re-launched www.foundmagazine.com a few months ago. Running mongrel behind apache and all has been well since it went live. I''m told it''s getting 50k+ page views a day. The other day it got posted on a popular blog and got 170k page views without a hiccup. Thanks Zed! Cheers, Brad
I''m currently running two apps with Mongrel: http://16bugs.com/ which is a very simple bug tracker and http://unilife.it/ which is a social networking website for Italian universities. And they''re both running smoothly! :) - Michele -- Michele Finotto http://finotto.org/ http://16bugs.com/ On Oct 5, 2006, at 17:41 , Brad Pauly wrote:> I''ve been meaning to mention that I re-launched www.foundmagazine.com > a few months ago.
