Why Mongrel2 Doesn't Use INI Files (Zed Shaw)

Exactly. With m2sh the regular small usage case is very easy, and you get tons of capabilities other servers don't have. It's not preventing you from working how you work now, just gives one more step.

But, for everyone else, and the future of operations, this kind of configuration storage is insanely useful. The idea that we could point mongrel2 at a redis store in the future and have the 1000s of servers some companies put out automatically update their configs in realtime is just sexy as hell.

That's pretty much what we do at our company (albeit with Riak and it's not mongrel2) - we have x servers with shared config and they all need to get that config on startup. I shudder to remember the early days of running sed on multiple configuration files on multiple servers using parallel-ssh.

Hey, you live in SF? Can I pick your brain sometime?

I'm afraid not - London. But go ahead.
