Q: Is it multi-threaded or can it handle concurrent requests? + +Mongrel is uses a pool of thread workers to do it's processing. This means that +it is able to handle concurrent access and should be thread safe. This also +means that you have to be more careful about how you use Mongrel. You can't +just write your application assuming that there are no threads involved. + +Camping and Og+Nitro are supposed to be thread safe and work with Mongrel directly. +This hasn't been heavily tested so people should let me know if they get weird +explosions under heavy load. + +Ruby on Rails is not thread safe so there is a synchronized block around the calls +to Dispatcher.dispatch.

Q: What's the best way to deploy my application with Mongrel? + +Right now Mongrel is still in heavy development, so I wouldn't recommend +running anything production level with it. For the future I'm envisioning +three main ways people will use Mongrel with their application: + +# Developing their application by running Mongrel the same way they run WEBrick. +# Putting Mongrel behind a web server that supports proxying (like mod_proxy in lighttpd and apache) + so that the web server handles the static content and Mongrel handles the dynamic. +# Using a load balancer to run a cluster of Mongrel and web servers directly rather + than through proxying. + +Since Mongrel uses plain HTTP there's no reason you can't use it directly for small +installs or development and testing. For production deployments it'll be easier +to deal with than SCGI or FastCGI since there's already a huge amount of machinery +available for running HTTP based clusters. + + +h2. Web Site + +h3. Q: How did you make this site? + +The site was actually incredibly easy to create. I simply went to "OSWD":http://openwebdesign.org/ +and found a design that fit what I wanted for the site.
