Zero downtime deploys with unicorn + nginx + runit + rvm + chef

Below are the actual files we use in one of our latest production applications at Agora Games to achieve zero downtime deploys with unicorn. You've probably already read the GitHub blog post on Unicorn and would like to try zero downtime deploys for your application. I hope these files and notes help. I am happy to update these files or these notes if there are comments/questions. YMMV (of course).

Other application notes:

• Our application uses MongoDB, so we don't have database migrations to worry about as with MySQL or postgresql. That does not mean that we won't have to worry about issues with the database with indexes being built in MongoDB or what have you.
• We use capistrano for deployment.

Salient points for each file:

Ruby Debugger

Most of the time simple output statements using warn, raise, or a logger will help you find your issue. But sometimes you need the big guns, and that means ruby-debug.

Ruby-Debug

The ruby-debug package has had some rocky times during the transition from Ruby 1.8.7 to 1.9.2 and beyond. But now, finally, the debugger is reliable and usable.

A replacement for "livereload" gem on OS X

This script is a replacement for livereload server component designed for working with Rails. It watches the filesystem with FS Events (Mac OS X) rather than with EventMachine. This is better for large projects for wich EventMachine fails with "too many open files" exception.

Sass is supported; .sass files can also be stored in "app/styles/" directory. Compass is detected if "config/compass.rb" file exists.

Installation:

Download this script to somewhere in your PATH and make it executable. You can name it something different than "livereload" if you want to try this and the official gem executable in parallel.

Building a Facebook application with Rails and hosting it in Heroku

Introduction

Facebook has given a big step in simplicity with its Graph API and the creation of the Open Graph protocol, now more than ever it's easier to read and write data from and to the socalled social graph.

You could turn your webpage into a fully-featured Facebook-like page, just like if you were inside Facebook, you can give your users the ability to sign in with their Facebook credentials, customize your users' experience with parameters taken from their Facebook profiles, you could add a Like button to every object in your page as images, songs, articles, etc., tell your users which friends of theirs have liked your content, and a lot of things more, oh, I forgot to mention something, all of this with total ease. Yes, I know you could do it with Facebook Connect, but I said "with ease".
