Standard development runners (script/server) are used by most of our devs. One server uses mongrel_rails + the Swiftiply patches for evented mongrel. > * Number of mongrels per server per app Windows 2003 Server we setup via Apache on a quad core, with 10 mongrels for the best performance. I had numbers somewhere, but IIRC it reached 4-8k req/s. On FreeBSD and Debian, we're running nginx (and it's great), I don't have performance numbers for these configurations, as we're more focused on static file handling direct out of nginx there. > * Monitoring system (runit, monit, god...) Windows Services + a custom service wrapper. djbs daemontools. God is no good for us as it's not cross platform, same goes for monit. daemontools falls in the same category, but it manages far more than just webservers for us, and has been around for quite some time. > * Proxy or software loadbalancer, if any (apache mod_proxy_balancer, > nginx, pen...) mod_proxy and nginx for the respective platforms, as noted above. > * HW loadbalancer, if any (Netscaler...)
