Smalltalk web app deployment on headless Linux server

Question

We wrote a small prototype web app using Pharo and Seaside and we want to now demonstrate to the suits that the app can be deployed into our standard Linux build. We use a mix of CentOS, Ubuntu Server and Gentoo which are run headless since most of our apps are JAVA/Apache based. Only port 80 and 443 are open to the outside world.

What are your experiences when hosting Seaside/Smalltalk server side apps?

Answer 1

it runs great, btw you can get free hosting for your seaside app at:

http://www.seasidehosting.st/

for more power you'd need your own server of course...

some benchmarks here:
