Hello Railers,

Getting on application servers, what do you guys use as your infrastructure backend?

I've read a lot about it, seems like apache + passanger is the easiest to go, right now.

What about nginx + passenger

Those are the two best options unless you want to use JRuby.

Or you could try Heroku. It isn't suitable for everyone, but if it is suitable for you it's lovely!

What about clusters? Does all this options supports clusters?

I'm not sure how clustering works with Passenger. Heroku is cloud-based, so no problem.

Where does proxy servers come into play?

You don't need them with Passenger.

Best,

Because the cloud is your cluster of servers. You don’t deal with that problem, they do.
