Well, as I said, Poet is used at the Hearst Corporation for a large project indeed -- serving 20+ external magazine sites (https://subscribe.hearstmags.com/) as well as internal content management and subscription management systems. So it is definitely an "enterprise scale" framework. Since you mention crons - we keep the source of crontabs, logrotate confs, and apache confs inside a special conf/ subdirectory that is itself Mason based. Whenever the server is stopped/started, all these files are regenerated via Mason. This allows them to be generated differently depending on Poet configuration for the particular layer, host, etc. I hope to share this mechanism as well once it can be properly packaged up. > Still, it looks good and its nice to see a lot of common sense Mason > stuff codified into a separate module. > > Congrats!
