Who’s running Phusion Passenger in production?
An interesting thread appeared on the Phusion Passenger mailing list, in which user asked who’s running Phusion Passenger in production. We’re actually very interested as well, seeing as we’re currently building a new website for Phusion. Please drop a note at the mailing list (or here, though the mailing list is preferred) if you’re running it in production as well.
Hi
I have Phusion Passenger in production on a small scale intranet site and also that website is running on Passenger. No problems no far.

Would like to, but it seems to be compilation issues on Solaris 10 (which is fixed in the development code).

I’m using passenger on my web monitoring system at http://phabian.com
So far I’ve been very happy with the decrease in memory usage in combination with Ruby Enterprise, and the more simple deployment and monitoring procedures.

I have passenger on 3 servers serving about 20 sites.
Works fast, solid and stable, deployment with capistrano is easier too for passenger since I don’t have to assign port numbers.
Just waiting for neverblock to support passenger.

Hongli asked me to mirror my reply from the mailing list on the blog as well:
I’d again like to reiterate the importance of what you guys are
), it also provides us with an opportunity to showcase our
). It has opened
currently doing for us right now, and would like to encourage the
reader out there to post their experiences with passenger here.
Besides acting as a morale boost (to read what we’re all doing it
for
technology (and our skills) to potential clients. Seeing as we’ve made
this open source from the get-go, this has always been the plan, but
what people may not realize is that maintaining Passenger costs a lot
of time and money. Open source is NOT free, at least not for one
party, i.e. the contributing party. Seeing as we’ve never asked, and
never will ask you for your money for Passenger unless you WANT to, we
need to find ways to sustain the project (thanks contributors!) as
well as ourselves. That hasn’t been easy, seeing as Passenger was
built to be robust and stable, not many of you out there would ever
feel the need to have commercial support (another guy you may know
called Zed Shaw experienced the exact same with Mongrel) : this kind
of gives us mixed feelings, on the one hand, you couldn’t be more
proud to have contributed to a robust product and see it do what it
should do, and to see what fortune 500 companies are using it. On the
other hand, we’re investing lots and lots of hours to sustain a
project that isn’t able to sustain us financially in return even to
the point that we’re currently considering to discontinue professional
open source as one of our business models. The only reason why we
haven’t done that till this point is because we love open source, and
are very grateful to it as well. So before you get me wrong, I’d like
to say we were well aware of all of this before we decided to open
source passenger instead of sticking a commercial license to it (for
what it’s worth, we’d do it again in a heartbeat
many doors for us that would very likely have remained closed to us
otherwise, and for the larger part, we have the nice things people
said about passenger to thank for that! So you probably may not
realize this, but your testimonials are worth gold to us (almost
literally). So keep ‘em coming guys

We’re using it in production on all sites we host. And we’re using it for our product ConfNetwork which will be launched in a few weeks.

Comment by Ryan Kuykendall — October 1, 2008 @ 6:19 pm
Just wanted to let you know that your work has led me to choose Rails as a development framework. I had concerns about ease of deployment before discovering Passenger. Thanks.

Comment by naffis — November 15, 2008 @ 8:23 pm
We’re currently using it on our site, mskynet.com which is a rails app for generating QR Codes. We’ve had zero problems with it so far – it took us less than an hour to get a new production machine up and running with passenger and our application. Good work!
