I updated the book which is really a great resource for Rails developers/deployment admins. Thanks Ezra and thanks again for introducing Enginx to me. I don't know how you feel about writing another book, but would love to see one on Merb(awesome framework!).

Congratulations on finishing and thanks for writing it. I purchased it as a draft back in December and it was invaluable in helping me tweak out setup and get it into shape. Thanks!

Congrats Ezra! I'm quite excited about this and I'm sure it'll improve my own deployment processes. Keep up the good work.

Awesome, you've been doing great all along. This is the missing book we've been looking for. There are quite a few Rails books, but no one had wrote about deployment at this level. Fittingly it's you who did that. :) Looking forward to get my hands on it.

Congrats Ezra. I'm going to purchase my copy right now. We've been looking for advanced deployment info and we finally have it. Thanks!

Wow; I remember when this book was just a twinkle in your eye and an excuse to drop a deadbeat client. Great job!

Congrats! Like the others, I just downloaded the completed PDF. I've been going through the book, and so far have found it to be a great resource.

If my PDF copy were real, it would already be in pieces, the amount I've been using it lately. Can't wait to read through the update (which I've just downloaded).

Just grabbed my update as well. I'm so glad this book goes into advanced performance issues instead of just stopping at a working apache/mongrel setup!

Congratulations! I just uploaded by updated version as I bought it since it was draft. It's a great book and a great resource for anyone that's deploying Rails apps.

So after being in the works for almost 2 years now and after going through many rewrites as Rails deployment tech has changed, my book is finally done! I just have to thank all of my coauthors who put in tons of work to get this thing as polished as it is now. Especially Bruce Tate and Clinton Begin, thanks guys!

New in this release is the chapter on Apache and Nginx scaling as well as a performance chapter. ALso included is setting up your own Xen installation and setting up Mysql Master → Slave and Master → Master replicated databases.

If you were holding off on getting this book until the advanced content was in there then now is the time to snap it up. This is the final beta release and the book will be going to print fairly soon. I really like the way the book has come together and I think it is a wealth of knowledge about deploying Rails applications.

\m/ Yay! Writing a book was a lot more work then I thought it would be and I could not have done it without my wonderful co-authors and all of the great feedback from the early beta readers.

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback. You can grab your copy of the book here:
