<p>I’m really impressed with the slides! I’m hooked to Jruby :)</p>Nickurn:uuid:7edd6370-0cfd-44d6-9e40-e7853aa6f4622008-06-01T22:16:48+00:002008-06-01T22:16:48+00:00Comment on RailsConf slides by Nick<p>@Robert: yeah, that’s semi-intentional. It’s a built slide in the talk that intends to show how it would suck to have to write all that code yourself.</p>Robert O'Connorurn:uuid:3804d414-3d49-40ff-9056-2c5afb809fea2008-06-01T02:09:23+00:002008-06-01T02:09:24+00:00Comment on RailsConf slides by Robert O'Connor<p>Great slides!

<p><strong>Update.</strong> The slides are pretty lean on explanation. Just in case you’re confused, the narrative goes like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>What’s your deployment nirvana look like? (various existing options)</li>
<li>With JRuby, you can deploy Rails applications in a single operating system process instead of many.</li>
<li>However, there are a few configuration changes needed to accomodate JRuby. (Steps for converting existing apps, configuration code snippets.)</li>
<li>Now, <a href="/articles/2008/05/08/introducing-jruby-rack">JRuby-Rack</a> helps with the configuration, because all of the logging/session/public path re-jiggering is taken care of for you. It’s now bundled with <a href="http://caldersphere.rubyforge.org/warbler">Warbler</a> as of version 0.9.9.</li>
<li>Performance is good and getting better. You can scale up the number of requests you can handle really easily just by setting the number of runtimes to create inside Warbler’s <code>config/warble.rb</code> file.</li>
<li>Lots of new stuff is happening right now to make Rails better. JRuby will be able to leverage these changes and become an even more desirable deployment platform. Stay tuned!</li>
</ul>
