Hi all,

I spent most of yesterday going through the ruote documentation and
examples and have some questions on how to integrate ruote into a load
balanced rails web application.

In our case we have a rails application which is load balanced across
2 machines. I would like this application to be able to launch
processes in ruote and also participate within the process workflow. I
am thinking that the best approach would be to start up a ruote-kit
application and the the existing app communicate with ruote thru REST.

Is that the correct approach for a load-balanced application. If I
take that approach is there a way to load balance the ruote-kit
application? If not what are my options? In order for me to go ahead
with using ruote I need either a way to load balance the workflow
engine or provide a fail-over strategy in case the machine with ruote-
kit goes down.

Also, if I am reading the documentation for rutoe-kit correctly, it
seems that ruote-kit only supports Ruote::FsStorage for storage. I am
looking under the Running Workers section in the README. If that is
indeed the case I guess load-balancing the ruote-kit app is out of the
question unless there is some type of shared drive invoked.

What are some of the integration strategies that you guys are using?

Thanks,
Steve
