Cons: yet another process to manage. Pros: HAProxy (as configured in RubyWorks stack) sends only one request at a time to any Mongrel in the cluster, thus preventing requests from piling up on a Mongrel that is stuck for a long time inside Rails handler. As a side-effect, this also prevents Mongrels from allocating extra 50 Mb of RAM per process under load, which is important when you are running multiple relatively inactive apps on the same hardware. -- Alex Verkhovsky --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
