One question though: How did you manage to keep the session between rails and merb, to figure which user uploaded which image? Good article.

This results in faster file processing - radically faster when resizing lots of small images in place. Nice write up!

I have succesfully implemented a simple app with merb handling multiple file uploads. Now I am trying to integrate the MERB APP with my existing RAILS APP, having an hard time tough trying to use merb-auth to let users authenticate by using the same mysql db. Merb works just fine out of the box, I think that the harder part (as it is for me at the time being) is integrating it with no pain with an existing RAILS APP.

Merb dont have any file upload plugin which is perfectly working.. Rails have good plugins for file uploading. If ur sure merb works for file upload send me the link and send me the code Who said file uploading is working in merb…

I just made the move from Rmagick to ImageScience (http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/ImageScience.html), which cuts your image processing overhead dramatically, even over MiniMagick. Then you'll be flyin on EC2! Great writeup.

I believe Zed Shaw, creator of Mongrel, has stated that image uploading in Mongrel is buffered, and therefore, the request is only locked once the uploaded data is complete, and not for the entire request. None of the less, Merb looks very promising and I think it's going to be a major player in the Ruby web world. Awesome information, thanks for writing on it.

Store your data inside memcached with the cookie/session key as the key. once your inside merb you can access it the same way by grabbing the cookie and fetching the vals from memcached. its lightning fast. Make sure your rails and merb apps are on the same subdomain so you can access the cookies (use rewriting in apache, nginx, lighty or whatever flavour your server is) Another note on session handling between rails and merb on the same host — not so relevant to EC2 and this example, but for those of you wondering — probably the easiest way i have found to *share* session data between the apps is to use memcached.

I wondering though about the part you mention of having multiple merb instances per server (you mention 20). I thought that Merb was multi threaded so you wouldn't need that many multiple instances of it? (Except maybe to take advantage of multi core CPUs). Good info.
