[ANN] Thin 0.5.1 LOLCAT released

Marc-André Cournoyer

1/8/2008 6:09:00 AM

Hey all,
Version 0.5.1 (codename LOLCAT) of the fastest Ruby server is out!
Thin is a Ruby web server that glues together 3 of the best Ruby
libraries in web history:
* the Mongrel parser: the root of Mongrel speed and security
* Event Machine: a network I/O library with extremely high scalability,
performance and stability
* Rack: a minimal interface between webservers and Ruby frameworks
Which makes it, with all humility, the most secure, stable, fast and
extensible Ruby web server
bundled in an easy to use gem for your own pleasure.
== What's new?
Even though Thin has been made public only 4 days ago, lots of things
have happened since:
* Ruby 1.9 compatibility
* Better Rails adapter
* Thin support included in Ramaze and Vintage frameworks (Thin can also
run Rails, Camping, Merb and more)
* Some bug fixes in header parsing
And some amazing numbers:

== Contribute
Thin is driven by an active community of passionate coders and
benchmarkers. Please join us, contribute
or share some ideas in Thin Google Group:

Also on IRC: #thin on freenode
Thanks to all the people who contributed to Thin, EventMachine, Rack and

Very cool. I just benchmarked (very crude localhost-only numbers) a
form page in Rails that hits a MySQL database. I would have expected
database and template rendering to be a far bigger factor, but here
are the numbers on my mbp (Ruby 1.8.6p111):

mongrel n=1000 c = 1 : 44.45
thin n=1000 c = 1 : 51.29
mongrel n=1000 c = 10 : 40.12
thin n=1000 c = 10 : 51.27
mongrel n=1000 c = 100 : 35.94
thin n=1000 c = 100 : 50.86

Now, I can't serve as many pages as you can (2200+!), but 50r/s is
still over 4 million pages served per day. I'm sure with a "thin
cluster," you can pretty much serve pages at will!

Good!

> * Better Rails adapter

Is rails 1.2.6 compatible with 1.9 BTW or do I need to move on to Rails2? My
main site is built with RadiantCMS and I'd like to move to 1.9... (yes I
understand it is development but I follow 1.9/trunk already anyway).

Is there IPv6 support for thin? I can run a plain mongrel server on ::1 but
thin seems to puke.

Thanks for thin!

Rails is not 1.9 compatible at this moment, this is work in progress
in edge.

Does your website use Thin?

I get a timeout...

@Steve: very nice! thx for benchmarking with Rails!

@Ollivier: like Xavier mentioned, Rails is not yet Ruby 1.9 compatible.
Rails core team working on this right now, but it's gonna be in next
Rails version, better update now to Rails 2.
I ddin't know about mongrel IPv6 support, I'll give it a look, thx!

@Joachim: no the website is a set of static HTML pages hosted on
DreamHost

thx for the comments, glad you like my project!

Thanks.

It is not critical per-se as I have an IPv6-enabled Apache in front of
mongrel/thin for URL filtering/rewriting anyway but it would be better to keep
IPv6 support in, especially when mongrel has it.

Very weird. I've tried raising an error in my .irbrc file to see if it's
loaded and it's not.

Are you using breakpointer or something like this. Seems like it can
cause this kind of error: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/...

What the content of your .irbrc file ?

While I'm here, would you care to use the same options as mongrel? It would
certainly help moving from one to the other (e.g. -a vs -o in thin).

I'd also argue that -c (chdir) is renamed to -C and use -c for specifying a
config file (hmmm, thin does not support this...).

Hey Ollivier,

Someone already mentioned this on Thin group:
http://groups.google.com/group/thin-ruby/browse_thread/thread/678862...
it's already on git and will be part of the next release

As for the -c, it already behaves like the mongrel_rails script:

mongrel_rails:
-c, --chdir PATH Change to dir before starting (will be
expanded)

thin:
-c, --chdir PATH Change to dir before starting

thx for using Thin!
