The load balancer extends Mongrel::HttpHandler and Mongrel::HttpServer to proxy REST calls. I'm prototyping running a single workflow per ruote instance - so the job of the load balancer is to make sure this happens. There are some reasons behind this approach that are a little business proprietary in nature, but I'd be happy to give you more details off list if you'd like? The trick with the load balancer will be to pull ruote instances in and out of the resource pool based on when they've finished a workflow - I'll do this in a generic way for both Synchronous and typical workflows, with some form of callback. > There's also rufus-verbs : http://rufus.rubyforge.org/rufus-verbs > (shameless self-promotion) but no worries, rest-client is neat and the > Heroku stuff is great, I'm very happy you can leverage ruote-rest with > rest-client. > I'll check out rufus-verbs as well - thanks, I hadn't noticed it there. > > You haven't talked about the "result" of the synchronous process.

With objects serialized to xml or yaml perhaps?
