Passenger aka mod_rails

Posted on April 11, 2008

I just happened across the Passenger website. Passenger claims to provide “Easy and robust deployment of Ruby on Rails applications on Apache webservers.” The metric graphs show it performing as well as Mongrel and Thin. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in community and the hosting companies. In true Ruby on Rails fashion there’s screencasts, lots of pretty colors, big fonts, and rounded corners everywhere. Hopefully there’s some there there.

    I saw a bunch of stuff come through RSS the other day about Passenger; on the community front they are hoping to get in bed with a couple of the major Ruby/Rails web hosts to put it through its paces in a real environment instead of synthetic (so to speak).
