We are continuously improving Phusion Passenger, and we strive to be the best application server out there when it comes to stability, reliability, performance and ease of use. Not just for Ruby. If you have any feedback on how we can improve, please let us know.
- modernerd 14y agoPlease extend the Passenger Enterprise $99/year "Startup" license to include "hackers" as well as "startups, students, educational use, and non-profits". I have a handful of pet Ruby projects in the pipeline which won't make money, and I'd like to run them on a VPS using the Passenger Enterprise mass deployment feature with rolling restarts. At $249/year, I'm not too keen. But at $99/year I'd go for it.
- tinco 14y agoIf you don't make money, doesn't that make you a non-profit? If you do make money, then you're either a startup or an established business. I don't know what a "hacker" is in your context? Why does a "hacker" need mass deployment and rolling restarts, while the feature is not worth 249 for him?
- modernerd 14y agoI am not a registered non-profit. I am a developer with a day job who'd like to host my side-projects on an inexpensive VPS using Passenger Enterprise. As things stand, Ruby hackers can either host their pet projects on Heroku or come up with a DIY solution to manage virtual hosts and graceful restarts on a VPS. In my opinion, the convenience of mass deployment and rolling restarts is worth $99 for projects that do not make money, but it becomes a questionable annual expense at $249. From the upvotes on my initial comment, I think that others in my position may feel the same. And it seems like a good way to encourage people who build things for fun to look to Passenger Enterprise for their bigger, paid projects too.
