Introducing Phusion Passenger™
Phusion Passenger™ — a.k.a.
mod_rails or
mod_rack —
makes deployment of Ruby web applications, such as those
built on the revolutionary
Ruby on Rails web
framework, a breeze. It follows the usual Ruby on Rails conventions, such as
“Don’t-Repeat-Yourself”.
-
Deployment is only a matter of uploading application files.
No Ruby (on Rails)-specific server configuration required!
-
Supports both the industry standard Apache
web server and the fast and lightweight
Nginx web server.
-
Allows Ruby on Rails applications to use about 33% less memory,
when used in combination with
Ruby Enterprise Edition
(optional).
-
Zero maintenance. No port management, server process monitoring
or stale file cleanup required. Errors are automatically recovered
whenever possible.
-
Designed for performance, stability and security. Phusion Passenger should
never crash Apache even in case of crashing Rails applications.
-
Well-documented, for both system administrators and developers!
