architecture ruby-on-rails node.js rewrite
Please tell me if:Node.js will make our site faster! Node.js will consume fewer server resources, we can save money! Node.js will make us more productive! Node.js means we can share client and server side JavaScript code.To clarify, we’re rewriting a frontend server, which will talk to our existing Ruby on Rails application as an API. Meanwhile, we’ll refactor our Ruby on Rails application into services.More details on the existing architecture:Memcached for HTML partials caching Redis for sessi

I am using ruby 2.0.0p247 in conjunction with rvm 1.21.12.My gem includes an ‘executable’ in /bin thats works as expected, reads in some data given by the user, and calls one function in my shared object library that in turn calls one function in an external API library.
