Check out this new Phusion Passenger 4.x series. It has much, MUCH improved performance, stability and features that rivals that of Unicorn, Puma, etc. It's used by the likes of New York Times, Symantec, AirBnB, etc. The main reason why people use Phusion Passenger is because of its ease of use. The way it integrates into Apache and Nginx is unlike other app servers and saves a lot of administration time and effort. |

Update process loads our application once and forks it to all the workers like Unicorn does. Puma wanted to load the application as many times as we had workers, which caused a huge spike every time we deployed.
Same goes to the thread handling. It really seems Passenger is the only Ruby server able to handle massive loads with threaded Rails app. Money well spent.
