Building Distributed Applications

on YouTube ↗44m

" summary

Company moves from one monolithic Rails app to many smaller apps to reduce load and speed releases, running light services like registration on 2–3 mongrels while pushing a heavy rating engine to its own boxes; uses DRb for remote objects, adds a Rinda ring server for discovery, and solves class-transfer with include DRBUndumped. Mac framework 0.8.1 registers shared routes, views and objects; proxies work but marshaling hundreds of records causes noticeable slowdown and migrations/portlets require careful naming.
