hi, i am trying to grasp some concepts about mongrel, rails, and backgroundrb on how they all work in terms of threads and such. is there a book about distributed ruby and processes? i havent seen any on amazon yet...
from my blog reading, i have some questions.... rails can handle 1 request at a time and can buffer to a certain extent? when mongrel instances are created, a copy of the rails app is loaded into each mongrel instance's memory space? these mongrel instances can read and write to the mysql database simultaneously? the middleman of backgroundrb, is he on his own thread outside the rails app or is he using a mongrel instance? how about the middleman's workers, are they on their own thread outside the rails app or would they be working with a mongrels instance? thanks for any help! my main goal is to create a scalable video service or other fun things! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
