Hey,

It's deployed on a dual xeon 3.0GHz, 4GB RAM with 16 mongrel processes
and a dual xeon 3.2GHz, 8GB RAM box running MySQL 5 (although that box
handles a number of other databases for the various other apps we
run). It uses lighttpd for the web server. So far everything's been
running great - no more slowdowns like we used to get with php - yay
for caching!
