What are the various web server options on Heroku?

Question

I recently deployed the application and use WEBrick, and considered switching to Thin. I am interested in the various options that exist and are best suited to the environment of the hero?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you are on a cedar stack, you can use whatever you want - delicate work, you can get excellent performance from Unicorn, although on Heroku - http://blog.railsonfire.com/2012/05/06/Unicorn-on- Heroku.html

Answer 2

(Asummption: you do not mean a web server (e.g. Apache or Nginx), but your application process)

The only real limitation is what you can run on Linux. Nginx is the proxy server used by the Heroku stack, but it is up to you to decide what it is.

I saw how with Tin, Weybrick and the Unicorn were without problems.
