Hi

We have just completed the first phase of replacing our client’s  
betting and gaming website with a new version written in Ruby on  
Rails. You can see this at [http://casino.victorchandler.com/vccasino](http://casino.victorchandler.com/vccasino).  
We are using Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 2.0.2, Apache, Mongrel, HAProxy,  
Memcache and MySQL. The web site talks to application tier (written  
in Java) using XML-RPC and JSON services.

We consider this project to be multi-lingual, multi-currency, multi-  
timezone, multi-skin, CMS-driven, Web 2.0 and a good example of how  
Ruby on Rails can be used in the “enterprise”.

We are looking to build a team that is based in Gibraltar to continue  
development of this site, both for this client and for others.  
Applicants should be pragmatic and happy working in all parts of the  
application stack. You will be joining a small team that is  
technology-centric and focused on delivering solutions rather than  
sitting in meetings all day.

If you think you would enjoy working in our team, please contact me on  
removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid. LVS, established in 1992, is a software house  
based in London and Gibraltar ([http://www.lvs.co.uk](http://www.lvs.co.uk)).

Best wishes

Simon

Hm, if you already have apache, why to make so complicated stuff  
(mongrel,haproxy)? Maybe better use passenger (2.0.6 just released).

We did look at Passenger but our client uses Sun Sparc machines and  
there is an issue with running Passenger on them. We are using Apache  
because the client uses this for all external facing web sites and we  
feel HaProxy is better than mod\_proxy\_balancer for talking to  
Mongrels.

Do you have links to more information on either of those points?

Inquiring minds want to know 🙂
