Phusion Passenger on Nginx
Phusion Passenger now runs on Nginx. I rarely get this excited about such a technical thing, but color me excited. Congrats to the Phusion team and Ezra/EY for making this happen. I can’t wait to re-deploy using Nginx.
I’m curious to see if Engine Yard will begin to move their current infrastructure over to Passenger now that Apache is safely out of the picture. This is certainly one of the final death knells for Mongrel (and Thin and Ebb).
This also means Sinatra and other Rack-based apps can run with Nginx. Lots of exciting stuff on the horizon for Rack, as well.
