RubyWorks production stack is a collection of open-source software  
required to host a RubyOnRails application on a Linux server,  
developed by ThoughtWorks Studios.

To set up a production Rails server, you point a package manager to  
RubyWorks package repository, run one command, and in a couple of  
minutes you have a skeleton Rails application served by a cluster of  
Mongrel servers, load-balanced by HAProxy, monitored by monit and  
controlled by runit.

…we should definitely make one of those “wow, how much I can get in  
5 minutes” screencasts about this… 🙂

Version 0.0.2 is a second development release of the stack, with the  
following useful and exciting new features:

- No need to compile anything on the production server (all necessary  
gems are available pre-compiled from RubyWorks gem repository);
- The stack can be installed on Ubuntu 7 (Feisty Fawn) and Debian 4  
(Etch) - although the latter requires libc from unstable APT  
repository (sid);
- Database drivers with Ruby bindings for MySQL, Postgres and Oracle  
are provided;
- all daemons are started and stopped by runit.
