Hi all, I wrote to this list waaaay back in January discussing auto-scaling for Unicorn, in situations where dedicated servers aren't practical. I've now written a separate autoscaler, under the name of alicorn (https://github.com/bensomers/alicorn). My current team's been running it in production for several weeks now with pretty good results, including correctly identifying and responding to a major load spike (and correctly spinning back down afterwards). I would love comments, suggestions, (constructive) criticism, etc. Hopefully there are some other folks out there who will find it useful.
Slightly related blog post at http://somanyrobots.com/2012/07/11/switching-to-unicorn, but most info is just in the github repository itself. -ben _______________________________________________ Unicorn mailing list - [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-unicorn Do not quote signatures (like this one) or top post when replying
