Is there a formula, data points etc that I can use to decide how many
mongrel servers is the optimal/max for a mongrel cluster setup on a
box?
i.e what should I look for in terms of processing, load etc.
Thanks.
From what I’ve heard, 50MB per mongrel is a conservative estimate,
sometimes
they will take up a lot more. There have been plenty of threads already
on
this, something a little searching should be able to turn up.

Is there a possibility of setting up a test server and then testing
out a few different methods of hosting your application? Mongrel,
Thin, and Passenger all deserve considering (IMHO), but you need to
test them in order to find the best setup for your application and
group.

I think you just need some quick back of the envelope calculations: if
an individual mongrel can serve 50 requests/s and your site needs to
be able to deal with 80 requests a second then you need 2 mongrels (of
course it’s never quite as simple, obviously some usage patterns or
tasks on your app will be slower than others, you just need some sort
of representative sample of what 1 mongrel can handle compared to what
the whole site can handle).
