Adoption of Mongrel + +A collection of people who've adopted Mongrel as their deployment +or development server of choice. If you have a success story, post +it to the "mailing list":http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users +telling people about it. The site doesn't have to be public, just tell +us how Mongrel made your life easier and what you like about it. + + +h2. OpenSUSE + +"OpenSUSE":http://www.opensuse.org/ has a "page dedicated to Ruby":http://en.opensuse.org/Ruby +that also includes information on Ruby in their build service, how to install +Ruby on Rails, and Mongrel rpms. + +Mongrel is also a part of the "SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SDK":http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/SLES_SDK +which I think is the first commercial distro, but I'm sure all the other distros +will whine and complain now that I've said that. + +It's maintained by Marcus Rückert. + + +h2. Alison Rowland + +"After months of tearing my hair out due to a lack of reliable Rails +deployment solutions, I found Mongrel. Thanks to Mongrel's simplicity +and stability, my hair is growing back. My Rails apps love Mongrel, +too, because it never lets them down." + +* "Gallery":http://gallery4222.alisonrowland.com +* "Blog":http://blog.alisonrowland.com + +h2. Josh Harvey + +We're currently running [our site]:"http://www.rashgash.com" on a Xeon 1300 Blade +server. I'm not even sure exactly what that is, but the getup has been +running without a hitch for over a month now. The site is powered by a +pack of 4 Mongrels (0.3.12.4) with mongrel_cluster 0.1.1 behind Pound +1.8.2. Lighttpd handles the static stuff. + +We're only serving 1,000 pages a day at this point, and I haven't done +any brutal load testing, so all I can say is that the system was a cinch +to setup and works beautifully. + +h2. "Jason Wong":http://www.jasonwong.org/ ("i5labs":http://www.i5labs.com/) + +Jason uses Mongrel and Apache on several sites: + + * "Epson Developers":http://www.epsondevelopers.com/ + * "Helium Report":http://www.heliumreport.com/ + +h2. Matt Pelletier ("EastMedia Group, Inc.":http://www.eastmedia.com/) + +Matt uses Mongrel on nearly everything including the recent +"VeriSign PIP Project":http://pip.verisignlabs.com/ project. + +h2. Ruby On Rails + +Dan Peterson and friends managed to convert the whole "RubyOnRails":http://www.rubyonrails.org/ +to Apache and Mongrel. + +h2. Josh Goebel + +His "Pastie":http://pastie.caboo.se/ uses Mongrel and it's a slick little paste site +with a nice IRC integrated bot. + +h2. "MarkaBoo":http://www.markaboo.com/ + +MarkaBoo is a social bookmarking site that started as a prototype +and evolved into an open-source business model experiment. We are releasing the +code under Creative Commons license on Rubyforge and are allowing the community +to drive the features as we approach 1.0. Our only revenue stream is from +Adsense (and sadly it will be a while before it covers expenses). MarkaBoo lets +you treat URLs, files, and content you create uniformly. So you could bookmark +a PDF, a website, and a snippet of code and access them all uniformly. We even +let you bookmark via email and mobile phone. + +"MarkaBoo Rubyforge Project":http://markaboo.rubyforge.org/ + +h2. Benjamin Curtis + +I saw your email to the list about Mongrel documentation, including the +Adoption page, and I thought I'd toss my info your way. I'm using Mongrel for +both "tesly.com":http://www.tesly.com/ and +"agilewebdevelopment.com":http://www.agilewebdevelopment.com/, both running on +the same VPS being proxied from lighty. This has turned out to be a much more +stable solution than lighty + fcgi. My VPS is running Debian, so I've +created init scripts to get those Mongrels going at boot time, and it works +like a charm. + +h2. "Jonathan Weiss":http://blog.innerewut.de + +"MeinProf.de":http://meinprof.de/ was the first site to deploy Mongrel with +Apache 2.2 and mod_proxy_balancer. We evaluated Mongrel as an alternative to +FastCGI and were impressed by the ease of use and simplicity of the setup. +Since then Mongrel drives up to 250.000 requests per day on MeinProf.de without +any problems. + +h3. Honorable Mentions + +* Fear of Fish says: "Fear of Fish isn't using it yet, but he will do when his current large project goes live." He likes third person. +* Wilson Bilkovich (Defiler) says: "Can I get on there saying that the web was a hollow lie before Mongrel was released?" No, that quote is full of lies. + +h1. Actually Adopting A Mongrel + +If you're thinking of getting dog, consider adopting a real Mongrel +instead. + +* Rescue a racing dog from "Greyhound Connection":http://www.greyhoundconnection.com/ +* Adopt a homeless buddy from "The Humane Society":http://www.hsus.org/ +* I judge people by how they treat beings weaker than themselves, and the "SPCA":http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer are good people. + + + |
