+= Deploying \Rainbows!
+
+== nginx proxying to \Rainbows! or Unicorn
+
+For high-traffic applications, routing slow actions to \Rainbows! with
+nginx is recommended as nginx can serve static files faster and nginx
+can forward fast actions to Unicorn.
+
+          static files
+            |
+      nginx |--> slow actions --> Rainbows!
+            |
+            `--> fast actions --> Unicorn
+
+Be sure to set <tt>proxy_buffering off</tt> in nginx for "slow actions"
+if you have Comet applications (but not for Unicorn).
+
+== \Rainbows! only
+
+For the daring (or low-traffic sites), you should consider deploying
+\Rainbows! in a standalone configuration.  This will be more highly
+recommended as \Rainbows! stabilizes, especially if static file
+performance improves (or you don't need them).
+
+You will need to do this to support things like BOSH or do real-time
+processing of the request body as it is being uploaded.
+
+In this case, haproxy or any similar (non-request-body-buffering) load
+balancer should be used to balance requests between different machines.
