So, after a marathon at work, we deployed our first delivery of the appilcation I’ve been working on since July. It’s an enterprise application, on a private intranet, so no links. However, it’s fair to say that we’ll be getting hits from a wide variety of sources. It should be good to see how well it holds up.
Right now, it’s deployed using the standard-mongrel-rails-stack ™, using 2 mongrel servers, all on one box. Seems to be holding up very well. As a note, moving your session store off the disc and into the database (ARSeession) does wonderful things for performance. Down side: It appears that a Text field in oracle is capped out at 4096b. Which puts an upper limit on an individual session size. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s likely to bite us in the butt at some point.
To top off the deployment exctiement, I’m buying a house. Closing comes in on Wednesday. We’ve already been through and plotted everything out. New appliances are ordered and on their way, buying up lighting fixtures, picking out paint colors … it’s pretty much all done but the installation, which is scheduled for Friday.
So, after about a month, I finally get a chance to breath. So, what am I doing? Refocusing on Dark Sun stuff. Lots to do there, including actually following through on the site. At least that one will be public …
