So I am now back in my office in Vancouver, BC after an amazing week in Santa Clara for the Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo. I though that I would take a break from trying to catch up with my email and write down some quick thoughts about this great event.

Somebody suggested that I try out thin, “A fast and very simple Ruby web server.” So, I thought it might be interesting to test, and a simplification over Rails to demonstrate an small Ruby MVC pattern.

Installing thin seemed straight forward as a gem installation, like

gem install thin

The initial install didn’t work out of the box because I’d neglected to install the gcc-c++ library. It raised the following errors:

Fetching: eventmachine-1.0.7.gem (100%)
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
