Subject: [jruby-user] JRuby on Rails - Deployment Options

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has done some tests with regards to different deployment options for JRuby on Rails.

Ideally open source deployment options. So far I have come up with the following, different combinations:

Jetty
Glassfish
JBoss
Apache + Tomcat
Apache + Jetty
Nginx + Tomcat
Nginx + Jetty

I am sure there are a lot more options available.

What do people currently have running in production and how have you found the deployment option with regards to performance and memory utilisation.

I have read various blog posts on the subject, but most seem to concentrate on how easy the deployment option is rather than how effective a solution it is.

For example, would it still be beneficial to place a HTTP server such as Apache, Nginx, etc in front of the Java servlet container, much like a standard RoR deployment option. Reading the Jetty, Glassfish and JBoss sites seem to suggest that you do not have to do this, and you will still be able to achieve the same or at least similar levels of performance, but I would have thought that it would still have been beneficial to place static objects behind a HTTP server, and then share the JRoR load across multiple Java servlet containers, so handling concurrency more effectively.

Any help, information on this would be most appreciated.

Regards

Matthew Winter
