Hmm.
I use JRuby but mainly for cmd line apps on multiple 16/32 core boxes
with 32Gb+ RAM and 100Tb+ plus file systems.
(I’m a dinosaur from the 70’s before we had graphics - I live at the
command line
Currently have record label reports going through a large number of
cronned jobs that use ActiveRecord in a Rails project with no front end
(yet).
These thrash the daylights out of a dozen databases on a load of boxes
with oodles of tables and 100s of millions of rows and do a great job.
One table has 140+ million rows in it for example and JRuby chomps down
and relishes it.
No dramas.
Ok. One. I had to add -J-Xmx2000m on one script due to legacy issues.
But in general no dramas.
Real time ETA minutes instead of hours for the archaic,
un-frickin-believably long and un-maintanable PHP scripts.
Managers are happy
Scored a badass Ubuntu box free for home use based on latest results.
Sweet.
I work on a jruby on rails application at IBM in the Big Data department
and I know of another jruby on rails deployment in the Information
Management department plus a bunch internal applications.
At Groupon we use MRI for a lot of our tooling / site, but I’ve setup
some
internal services using JRuby in the past 6 months. We definitely had
teething pains setting it up (picking an app server, setting up a
deploy,
getting consoles/rake tasks do have a ruby env, JVM tuning, …), but
it’s
been working well after we ironed most of those out. I personally expect
having access to the JVM ecosystem will be a huge asset long-term.
Thank you Charles and the rest of the JRuby team for all of the hard
work
you have done over the years to make JRuby so awesome.
I am an independent consultant that works in the Enterprise software
space and I use jruby for almost anything that I would have used perl,
awk or shell scripts for in the past. Since there is no requirements
other than Java I have been able to bring it into the environments I
work without issue.
It has been a huge help to me. 1+ for sure on the thank the jruby team
for all the tremendous work they have put into this.
