Is it me or are there too many choices for Rails production stacks?
Depending on what kind of server you are deploying to, you can have any or all of the following in your mix:
Apache
Lighty (LightTPD)
Pound
Pen
Mongrel (or mongrel_cluster)
Ngnix
FastCGI
Whoa! That is way more confusing than even the most obsfucated Java stack.
I am a huge Rails fan, but I hope the community can come together with some simple production stacks that are easy and enjoyable to deploy for as Ruby is to develop in.
I’d like to know, what are you using? I am using Pound/mongrel_cluster right now, but I am looking into Ngnix.
Say what you want about Microsoft, but copy->paste into IIS directory is a whole lot easier to do.
