How rails applications actually work? Let's say we have nginx + passenger + Ubuntu, so my questions are:
- What is nginx actually doing?
- How does it transfer requests to the rails app?
- what is passenger responsible for?
- And what is rack?
- How actually rails app can work just on webrick without apache?
Please dont give me answers like "nginx processes the requests"; I need something more, or may be you know the source where I can read about this.
