I'm exploring setting up a small pool of Nginx servers crunching over some data via a web service.
Nginx + FastCGI + Mono seems like a great combination but it's not clear how robust or production ready this combination is. Specifically, Nginx outsources it's C#/ASP.NET job to "mono-fastcgi-server2" but that module seems like it's untouched for a few years now. In fact in the latest Ubuntu, it's not even there in the repositories leading me to believe it's orphaned/deprecated. I would have expected the Mono team to support the fastcgi server but doesn't look like it.
So can anyone shed some light on this?
Widening that question, what is the recommended "ASP.NET on Linux route" as of 2012? Apache + mod_mono? Need to ask because many discussions are 2008-2009 based (3 years now!)
Thanks!
Sid
PS : Note that I'm NOT: looking for
- Performance benchmarking vs IIS ("Just use IIS!")
- Someone's opinion on C# or ASP.NET as a platform/language ("Just use RoR/Java/PHP/C/assembly!")
