It is based on Rainbows! (which is based on Unicorn (which is based on Mongrel)) and inherits parts of each. Zbatery supports your choice of all the thread/fiber/event/actor-based concurrency models and Rack middleware that Rainbows! supports (or will ever support) in a single process. Zbatery will still exploit certain features of Unix for transparent upgrades, log reopening, and graceful stops, but does not rely on them for basic functionality. * http://zbatery.bogomip.org/ * rainbows-talk@rubyforge.org * git://git.bogomips.org/zbatery.git == Features * Designed for {Rack}[http://rack.rubyforge.org/], the standard for modern Ruby HTTP applications. * Configuration files are compatible with Rainbows!, a superset of the Unicorn {DSL}[http://unicorn.bogomips.org/Unicorn/Configurator.html]. * Inherits all features and concurrency models Rainbows! supports (and ever will support): http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/Summary.html * -Untested- Works under operating systems that don't support signals, pipe and fork(). Unicorn 0.95.2+ has rake-compiler support, so compiling the HTTP parser should be easier at least. * -Untested- HTML 5 Web Sockets support This project may be temporary and may eventually have its name encoded with uncrackable ROT13 encryption leaving you with no way to upgrade. -- Eric Wong
