I like your idea. Because I would like to deploy on Passenger, one thing that is not clear is this comment made by the creator of desert, Brian Takita: I havn't tried Desert with mod_rails yet so I'm not sure about all of the details.
One thing to note is Desert will lazily load your files and mod_rails uses fork. This may cause a performance issue if the files are not loaded in environment.rb, because each forked process would need to do the same work to load the files over and over again. To fix that issue (if there is one), you would need to show the constants or require the files within environment.rb. For example: # environment.rb require 'config/boot' require 'desert' Rails::Initializer.run do |config| # ... end User AnyOtherModule require_dependency 'some_controller' Do you have any idea how to deal with this in regards to CE?
