As a (primarily) developer who is also in the DevOps "space", I'm wondering if anyone knows Phusion's usage popularity over "rolling your own" (unicorn) or Paas (Heroku) usage?

The enterprise features seem really great, although per server charging is definitely in the Enterprise range of $$$ !

People dramatically underestimate the amount of time necessary to support a complex project like Passenger. Phusion earns every dime of that Enterprise pricing.

I think they built their popularity by being the first really easy way to use Rails with Apache. And by being a solid, well documented, easy to use product.

Heroku and Passenger aren't mutually exclusive.[1] Heroku users must choose an app server. Heroku currently recommends Puma,[2] even for apps that aren't thread safe.[3] I don't know why they don't recommended Passenger.
