Zero downtime deploys with unicorn + nginx + runit + rvm + chef

Below are the actual files we use in one of our latest production applications at Agora Games to achieve zero downtime deploys with unicorn. You've probably already read the GitHub blog post on Unicorn and would like to try zero downtime deploys for your application. I hope these files and notes help. I am happy to update these files or these notes if there are comments/questions. YMMV (of course).

Other application notes:

  • Our application uses MongoDB, so we don't have database migrations to worry about as with MySQL or postgresql. That does not mean that we won't have to worry about issues with the database with indexes being built in MongoDB or what have you.
  • We use capistrano for deployment.

Salient points for each file:

Building an RFC compliant JSON-Patch with Rails 3 and Backbone

I recently got PATCH mostly working with Backbone and Rails 3, here's what I needed to do.

Sticking Points:

  1. [Rails] JSON Patch gem needs updated.
  2. [Rails] Routing verb for patch missing - I believe this is fixed in Rails 4, haven't investigated.
  3. [Rails] Need to parse the 'application/json-patch+json' content type in sort of a crazy way
  4. [Rails] Building a patch and applying it to an activerecord model is kind of a pain, ideally we'd have a ActiveModel#apply_patch(json_patch)
  5. [Backbone] Building a patch from a set of attributes is tricky - I've done the bare minimum using a loop over a hash to build add operations, which should probably cover a good chunk of cases for backbone. (I imagine most people aren't going to need the json-patch support for moving, copying or deleting keys generally.)
