Server Performance Work for RoR

[Michael Jones]

A friend of mine is running a large RoR app and is/was having some
load issues. Basically the server would become unresponsive and
require a restart.

Scoop:
- Linux Litespeed Mysql
- 10,000 hits day, however there are peaks which bring the server to a halt
- expected to grow over next several months

Plan:
We would like to find a person experienced with RoR apps and
configuring high performance servers. This server is currently
collocated. We would like to have the current configuration reviewed
and tuned if possible, also develop a plan to implement a load
balancing solution and possibly implement this solution in the next
3-4 months.

Please contact me off list if you feel that you fit the bill, include
a brief description of your experience.

Thanks-
Michael

Michael,

What is the application? 10k hits a day really isn't much unless your
application requires an unusually large amount of computation per
request.

Correction 100k hits, 10k unique visitors.

It's a pretty standard app, not alot of computations just reads and writes.

I think I found the help we are looking for, thanks for all the responses.

Cheers-
