The cluster management tools for Swiftiply and mongrel_rails aren so great. Will that change?
Yes. The focus so far has been on the Swiftiply proxy itself. Now that it is nearing the feature set that is desired for the 1.0 release, it is time to start focusing on the cluster management tools more. The 0.7.0 release will feature a nice set of cluster management tools designed to make deploying and managing your Swiftiplied cluster sweet and easy. Until then, I will happily accept patches if anyone wishes to add to the work that Ezra started with the modified mongrel_rails and swiftiply_mongrel_rails scripts.
