Although JRuby has maintained a high degree of compatibility with C Ruby, there still are a few considerations when making an existing Rails application run with JRuby. We’ll introduce a simple step-wise process for ensuring you can trial your application on JRuby. From there we’ll discuss its merits as a deployment platform, including stability and performance, and why these can be worth taking the trouble to make a few changes to your application and deployment workflow.
