gem install mongrel —source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/
Which you might want to try in order to get a jump on it’s stability. This release mostly just fixes the Date formatting to be RFC compliant.
I’m telling people that the 0.3.13 release will be the “stable for pre-production release”. This means that you can start putting your pre-production and staging systems on it for testing and evaluation purposes. At Canada on Rails I plan on getting together with as many people as possible and trying to get their applications to run Mongrel as my main testing process.
After Canada on Rails I’m planning the 0.4 release and will start telling people it’s production ready.
Now, before people go crazy and start running their rails applications on Mongrel expecting google size loads, there’s quite a few things that “Mongrel in production” is really missing:
* A monitoring best practice. I’m looking at monit for this and should have a doc for people soon.
* A multi-machine cached cluster best practice. There’s one using lighttpd that works, but there’s some bugs in lighttpd’s mod_proxy that makes it not so great. I should have a new version of the document which clears all this up.
* Management mechanisms. Monit should take care of things like stray mongrels (pun!) and bouncing badly behaving servers. It would be nice to give people a small handler that lets them hit a mongrel server on a separate host to see what it’s doing and manage it a bit.
Hope that answers your question.

Is mongrel stable enough to be used in a production environment? Is it stable?
If so, which version is recommended?
Thanks,
