It is based on Unicorn, but designed to handle applications that expect long request/response times and/or slow clients. For Rack applications not heavily bound by slow external network dependencies, consider Unicorn instead as it simpler and easier to debug. * http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/ * rainbows-talk at rubyforge.org * git://git.bogomips.org/rainbows.git Changes: Unicorn 0.97.0 has a bunch of internal cleanups and small fixes and this is mainly to resync with those changes. keepalive_timeout now defaults to 5 seconds (from 2 seconds previous). This should help out clients on slower connections. Some small fixes and cleanups: * Rainbows::Fiber::IO objects may leak if a rare app uses them explicitly with FiberSpawn/FiberPool-only (not RevFiberSpawn) * quiet down ENOTCONN handling, there's nothing we can do about this error so we won't fill our logs with it. -- Eric Wong From normalperson at yhbt.net Mon Mar 1 13:58:46 2010 From: normalperson at yhbt.net (Eric Wong) Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2010 18:58:46 +0000 Subject: [ANN] Zbatery 0.2.0 - Unicorn/Rainbows! resync In-Reply-To: <20100301185504.GB22271@dcvr.yhbt.net> References: <20100213103409.GA7833@dcvr.yhbt.net> <20100213103757.GB7833@dcvr.yhbt.net> <20100213103918.GC7833@dcvr.yhbt.net> Message-ID: <20100301185846.GA22455@dcvr.yhbt.net> Zbatery is an HTTP server for Rack applications on systems that either do not support fork(), or have no memory (nor need) to run the master/worker model.

Hi Christoph, I do both, depending on the situation. As I've developed more confidence in Rainbows!, I've found it easier to manage/hand-off apps with Rainbows!-only deployments as there are fewer moving parts to deal with. Static file performance is acceptable with Rainbows! for most situations, however it's unlikely to ever be as fast as nginx/lighttpd for static files. I'd love to hear other people's deployment experiences with Rainbows!, too. > our app has pretty short requests, we use rainbows mainly to get an > eventmachine loop. Give it a shot, it's more than likely to work. EM is very scalable and handles slow connections very well. -- Eric Wong
