Very Nice. > > I'd be willing to pay for an early beta of your book. :) > > Sunny Hirai Hey Sunny- The whole thing about Xen is involved in the idea of easy scalability. The behavior of production apps run on a cluster of mongrels that I have seen has a sweet spot. About 3 or 4 mongrels in a cluster behind a front webserver like nginx all running in one Xen instance can serve quite a bit of traffic. Any more then 5 mongrels in a small cluster like this and you start to see diminishing returns. And when you add a shared filesystem to the mix like gfs then you can add and remove nodes from an app cluster at will. Just by cloning the xen instance and having it join the cluster and mount the rails applications on a gfs mount. Doing it this way you can have up to 16 xen instances all sharing a gfs filesystem all serving the same rails application. So when it is time to deploy new code you only have to deploy the code to one of these xen nodes and then just restart the mongrels on all nodes that share the same gfs mount. Then all nodes are serving the new code. All of these nodes run behind hardware load balancers so you can bring them down and up in a piggy back fashion and never have down time to the website users. We have found that Xen only imposes a performance overhead of 5-9% compared to non virtualized linux. So going with xen makes it so much easier to scale across boxes that the tradeoff is well worth it. The only boxes you may not want Xen on is the database box or boxes. If you have super heavy database traffic then you may want to go non virtualized on that box. But saying that, we still run our mysql clusters on xen instances and have not had performance problems with it. We use coraid AoE SAN which is block level ATA disk access over ethernet but without the overhead of tcp/ip. So none of our servers have hard disk drives. They only have 128Mb flash ata chips for the main Xen dom0's to boot off of. Then they load all the domU's off of the SAN. Rails tends to use a lot of memory but the cpu usage is not so bad. Our cpu's are sleeping and its always ram that needs to be increased. We are going to start buying big 4 processor boxes with 32 or 64gigs of ram and virtualizing on top of those. Currently we use boxes with two dual-core amd opterons with 8gigs of ram. Using many smaller rails app server nodes behind load balancing with all of them sharing state with the database and the shared filesystem makes applications feel responsive and distribute the load in a nice way.
