All, I've been asked to put together a white paper about Ruby on Rails. Rather write yet another article with a simple proof-of-concept application tutorial, I thought it might be more interesting to talk about scaling issues. With that in mind, my current plan is to set up Typo in a multiple server environment, turn off caching, and start load testing it to see how many FCGI listeners on each box gets the best performance. The results would form the basis of the paper.
My hope is that an article specifically about how Rails apps get deployed in high-volume, high-availability environments would be more interesting than another round of "now let's do script/generate scaffold..." I'd appreciate any feedback you might have to offer, both on whether or not you'd find such a paper interesting, and on any particular implementation issues that spring to mind. Maybe it'll even be useful if you happen to have a Typo-driven blog so popular that you need a half-dozen dedicated servers just to run it. ;) Many thanks for your time, Sam Leibowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comm Solution Development Unisys phone: 610.648.3702 _______________________________________________ Typo-list mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/typo-list
