plack middleware and dancer

19:36] I think with most deploys a front end reverse proxy like nginx is used for static content, but some application frameworks like dancer also support including static stuff [19:37] == Raugturi [~Raugturi@unaffiliated/raugturi] has quit [Quit: WeeChat 0.3.7] [19:37] == hemanth [~hemanth@182.71.223.66] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] [19:38] == hemanth [~hemanth@182.71.223.66] has joined #perl [19:39] dancer yeah I heard that is very nice [19:39] trying to outdo catalyst [19:39] eh [19:39] we do static files [19:39] but generally we don't recommend it [19:39] I work @ ruby rails shop [19:39] its nice it seems but eats RAM [19:39] like mofo [19:40] not because dancer can't handle it, but because you shouldn't be putting your assets on the webapp layer, going through all the stack [19:40] let memcached handle them? [19:40] or varnish? [19:40] instead you should either be putting them on your varnish (cache server), your nginx (reverse-proxy) or in a plack middleware [19:40] or mogileFS? [19:40] in plaq middleware? [19:40] == Jayefuu [~Jayefuu@96.26.101.103] has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds] [19:40] and dancer supports middlewares fully [19:40] why there? [19:40] yes [19:40] there's a nice one that handles assets nicely [19:41] https://metacpan.org/module/Plack::Middleware::Assets [19:41] concatenates, minifies, has expires [19:41] this helps quite a bit [19:41] == zellio [~zellio@rrcs-72-43-96-54.nyc.biz.rr.com] has joined #perl [19:41] rails supports that too, but you have to go through the stack with your request [19:42] the plack middleware handles it before dancer (or whatever other framework you're using) [19:42] also, it's above the framework, so you can switch frameworks and it will still work seamlessly [19:42] also, it's 5:40am and i think i should probably go to sleep [19:42] no shit [19:42] nice [19:42] yeah [19:42] can it call to mogileFS? [19:43] and in dancer you can set up middlewares already in the config and it loads automatically [19:43] wat u think of ha proxy v perlbal
