NAME
    App::Ringleader - Proxy for sproradically-used web application

VERSION
    version 0.1.0

SYNOPSIS
        use App::Ringleader;

        App::Ringleader->new( conf => 'ringleader.yml' )->run;

DESCRIPTION
    Ringleader is a proxy that will wake up psgi applications upon request
    and shut them down after a period of inactivity. It's meant to provide a
    middle-ground between the slowliness of CGI and the constant resource
    consumption of plack applications for services that are not often used.

    Typically, you'll use it via the "ringleader" script.

    Ringleader relies on Ubic to start and stop the services. For PSGI
    applications, you probably want to define your services using
    Ubic::Service::Plack.

CONFIGURATION FILE
    The Ringleader configuration file is YAML-based, and looks like

        port: 3000
        inactivity_delay: 60
        services:
            techblog.babyl.ca:  webapp.techblog
            kittenwar.babyl.ca: webapp.kittenwar
        CHI:
            driver: FastMmap

  port
    The port of the proxy. Defaults to *3000*.

  inactivity_delay
    The minimum time (in minutes) of inactivity before a service will be
    shut down.

    Defaults to 60 minutes.

  services
    The services Ringleader will monitor. Each service is configured via a
    key/value pair. The key is the request's host, and the value is the
    <Ubic> service it related to.

  CHI
    The arguments to pass to CHI to build the caching system used by the
    service. If not provided, CHI::Driver::FastMmap will be used.
