twitter gains 30% of througput (without refactoring) using REE (1) but the really great about passenger is how easy is to use, configure once and use in 3each app, i dont need to worryed about what raisl version need the app, just confiugre passenger, and put the app in thepassenger dirs, restar the server and the apps works like charm. Actually the cherokee wizard for rails only support rails (ther out is a lot of other ruby framworks very popular like sinatra, camp, or plain ruby) and some times is tricky to make it works correctly (when failsl you dont know if it is an ruby error, or cherokee, or fcgi, etc). Of coure other of the great features is the rack integration. If you dont want to integrate passenger just mimic it, but it will be really tricky to fight with different rails versions, different merb versions, different sinatra versions, etc My company is working with a rail app, and after some test nginx +passenger+ree (all is installed and configured easily with a phusion isntaller) have more points than cheroke. But i really prefer cherokee! I really will love to see cherokee to mimic the passenger behaviour. 1. http://blog.evanweaver.com/articles/2009/09/24/ree/ _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
