Hi guys!<br><br>I am curious. Just discovered what mongrel is some days ago (no kidding, and I haven't been in a bubble these last months), and I wondered what do you use for deploying apps in production servers.<br><br>In my hosting they used to recommend an hybrid lighttpd + apache solution (apache proxying requests to lighttpd running my rails app in a different port, with a subdomain), but seems that now the latest trend is mongrel.
<br><br>The docs say rails does not perform very well concurrently and thus is better to have a "cluster of mongrels". Any experience on this?<br><br>The amount of memory that it can use it's kind of scaring me, even if it's a very simple application that I'm thinking of, as it's a shared hosting and they have a "samurai process" which kills resource-consuming processes.
<br><br>(I was thinking of creating one of those dynamic dns's and host it in my home server, but somehow I'm not fully convinced)<br><br>Anyone feels like sharing experiences in deploying rails apps?<br><br><br>Sole the Rails newbie :)
