My first Rails 2.0.x project has been running in production for a couple of months now. It's the website for KRO's "De TV Flat", a children/teens program airing every Saturday on dutch national television around 9am (channel Nederland 3) untill the beginning of summer. I'm very proud to actually get one of my projects on TV! The premise is basically "Youtube for kids" with the chance of getting your self-made video's broadcasted on TV!
I really like the instructional video's made by the TVFlat crew, very helpfull tips for creating your own video content.
Technology used:- Linux
- Nginx HTTP server
- Mongrel
- MogileFS clustered storage
- Rails 2.0.2
- Merb 0.54 for critical code paths, beats Rails to a pulp when it comes to roundtrip times
- Memcached
- MySQL
- Lucene
- mplayer / ffmpeg / faac for transcoding, direct broadcast quality feeds are generated!
- Flash video
Hope I can find some time later on to write a bit about the different parts.. anyway, go check it out!
