Add <a href="http://www.gradswanted.com">www.gradswanted.com</a> and the soon to be launched <a href="http://www.campuschai.com">www.campuschai.com</a> to the list. I owe it big time to zed, before mongrel, I was suffering in fastcgi land with no end in sight. Lighttpd made it slightly better, but mongrel was paradise.
<br><br>Zed, THANK YOU.<br><br>Sunder<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/4/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Kirk Haines</b> <<a href="mailto:wyhaines@gmail.com">wyhaines@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
It would be an interesting topic. I bet there are quite a few.<br><br>I just released one that 1/2 runs on Mongrel. <a href="http://direxionfunds.com">http://direxionfunds.com</a><br><br>It was released before it was _quite_ ready, but the last of the
<br>content is getting inserted today. I am still waffling on how I will<br>leave it running longterm. Right now it uses a slightly modified<br>version of the Mongrel http parser with EventMachine to front IOWA,<br>all reached via an Apache proxy, but I am also alternately running it
<br>under Mongrel 0.13.4 in its entirety, with an IOWA handler, and<br>comparing the performance patterns now that real users are hitting the<br>site.<br><br>The site is completely dynamic, with all content and navigation
<br>generated from data inserted into a database via a simple CMS system,<br>and all fund performance information pulled from a db that is updated<br>automatically via data feeds. There is also a second, by-login-only<br>
site that sits on top of this one, in the same URL space, so if you<br>are an investment professional, you login, and then index.html and<br>other parts of the site show you different things.<br><br>Performance in this setup is better than anything except maybe one
<br>using fcgi (the site should peak at about 200 dynamic reqs/second,<br>which is WAAAY more than it'll ever get), but this is brain dead<br>simple to setup and manage, so I like it much more than I like fcgi,<br>and I can toggle pure Mongrel or Mongrel/EM hybrid operation in about
<br>2 seconds, too. Good stuff.<br><br>I am pleased with what you have brought to the table with Mongrel,<br>Zed. Thanks for your continued work.<br><br><br>Kirk Haines<br>_______________________________________________<br>
