Mongrel is a web server application designed for hosting Ruby web applications. It is written in C and is optimized for speed, low memory usage, and ease of deployment. Unlike most web servers, Mongrel is designed to run as a single process and handle multiple connections at once. This makes it an ideal choice for hosting web applications that require high performance and scalability. Additionally, Mongrel supports features such as persistent connections, SSL, content-length limit, and request routing, making it a useful tool for web application developers.
