In case you’ve not seen it, there is a short chapter here:

[http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/html/web.html](http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/html/web.html)

Then when you find it’s too slow, look at fastcgi/fcgi/scgi - or  
reorganise  
your app so that it runs as a standalone HTTP server, and proxy HTTP  
requests to it from your front-end webserver.
