Many things work, some better than others, again, depending on each case. Hassan mentioned nginx, I am using nginx as well, with several unicorns. I haven't done extensive research, I just knew that Apache+Passenger was going to wreak havoc on my already bloated VPS. If you are just using a single server the nginx+puma/thin/unicorn things works well. Unless you are using your linux box for serving up multiple vhosts and web apps in PHP, Perl, and such, it really makes more sense to me to put in a trim, fast web server like nginx for tossing back static content, and something to manage the Rails stuff such as puma. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
