A Web Server Called Ebb
ebb.rubyforge.org
New web server suitable for running rails applications, written in C and event-driven. Claims to be a lot faster than mongrel.
I ran some simple benchmarks against a clean rails application:
- <pre>mongrel_rails start -p 80
- ab -n 10000 -c 50 <a href="http://localhost/">http://localhost/</a>
- Requests per second: 419.94 [#/sec] (mean)</pre>
- <pre>ebb_rails -p 80 start
- ab -n 10000 -c 50 <a href="http://localhost/">http://localhost/</a>
- Requests per second: 1147.91 [#/sec] (mean)</pre>
