Hi Not really asking for a debate, per say, but more of a link ot a page outlining the differences in methodologies for deploying production quality (high volume) Rails sites. To me Apache has the win for handling my static content from the load point of view but loses a few points with fastCGI. The Pound / Mongrel solution seems more ''Rails-esque'' and also able to handle large load. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Been very happy with the performance and ease of configuration.

Do look into nginx + mongrel. I''ve been messing around with it recently and it''s really quite the system, and is the server that many Rails developers are turning to. A couple of links regarding nginx and Rails http://brainspl.at/articles/2006/08/23/nginx-my-new-favorite-front-end-for-mongrel-cluster http://blog.kovyrin.net/2006/08/22/high-performance-rails-nginx-lighttpd-mongrel/ http://errtheblog.com/post/3908 The short: nginx absolutely screams past Apache in benchmarks, is MUCH easier to configure and nearly as feature complete as Apache, with it''s own build in proxy balancing. Heck, I''ve gotten nginx to proxy back to an Apache process for SVN access in very little time (nginx''s WebDAV plugin isn''t ready for SVN yet, but it''s getting there). Give it a try, it''s quite impressive.
