5 requests/second is "good life average"? While he certainly deserves a credit for trying to shoot conservatively, but such low numbers will only scare more people away.
Our slowest requests (with multiple SQL queries and nontrivial rhtml rendering) get served @25-30req/sec, while "regular", i.e. not heavy requests are served @60-120req/sec and we're certainly not "Rails sharks" having less than a year of real life experience and our server is a $850 Opteron box.
- mkull 19y agoJust to clarify a bit, he is being conservative, and it's 5 req/sec per mongrel (4 mongrels), which would come out to 20 req/sec for the vps setup.
- nickb 19y agoAnd you can easily add another slice to this setup... Author definitely has a point. If you're picking a new language for your project, I wouldn't worry about Rails' performance at all.
- fauigerzigerk 19y agoDon't forget that he's talking about VPS. Typically a VPS run up to 15 virtual machines on one box.
