Is there a formula, data points etc that I can use to decide how many mongrel servers is the optimal/max for a mongrel cluster setup on a box? i.e what should I look for in terms of processing, load etc. Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

From what I''ve heard, 50MB per mongrel is a conservative estimate, sometimes they will take up a lot more. There have been plenty of threads already on this, something a little searching should be able to turn up.

You could take a look at Phusion Passenger at http://www.modrails.com/index.html nextpulse wrote:> Is there a formula, data points etc that I can use to decide how many > mongrel servers is the optimal/max for a mongrel cluster setup on a > box? > > i.e what should I look for in terms of processing, load etc. > > > Thanks. > > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Is there a possibility of setting up a test server and then testing out a few different methods of hosting your application? Mongrel, Thin, and Passenger all deserve considering (IMHO), but you need to test them in order to find the best setup for your application and group.
