Aggregation with Sprockets
summary
Sprockets provides a Ruby asset pipeline that concatenate+precompile via Sprockets Rails or run as a CGI, emits one consolidated asset and ships rake tasks for Capistrano deployment; it pairs with YUI Compressor (JAR) with munch option for safe minification. An example project with ~60 JS files at three–four directory levels consolidates to one file, and a Prototype+script.aculo.us sample drops from ~300k to about 10% after YUI + gzip. Apache config recommendations include long expiry, public cache control, and dropping ETags for CDN friendliness.
