airake gives you tasks for compiling, debugging, testing and packaging Adobe AIR applications. It also has a basic project generator/scaffold. All this was made possible because of the prolific newgem and rubigen gems.

To get started, checkout airake.rubyforge.org

The tasks and project might be a little Flex specific (cause of the particular project we are working on), so feel free to poke around or contribute back. Also I only tested it on MacOSX.

Some of the FCSH (flex compiler shell) daemon and wrappers are from the Sprout project, so be sure to check them out.

I switched from apache + mod_proxy_balancer to nginx, which on my lame VPS is saving me around 14 precious MB of memory. There are so many reasons to use nginx. Ezra recommends the monit + nginx + mongrel_cluster stack, and my friend/co-worker has a great conf to start with. It took me about 5 minutes to setup, even with multiple hosts.

My nginx.conf and init script.

Nginx is hyper optimized…
