I am using the following gems in my project
gem 'sunspot_rails'
group :development do
gem 'sunspot_solr'
end
I am trying to figure out why we shouldn't use sunspot gem by itself in production environment?
Most people recommend setting up a standalone solr service such as jetty+solr or tomcat+solr
There are several links that explain solr in production:
Setup sunspot solr with rails in production environment
http://outoftime.github.io/pivotal-sunspot-presentation.html
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/EmbeddedSolr
But they dont say why?
I tried putting all production data and creating indexes as i would need in production and faced no problem. Is there anyone who has used the sunspot_solr in production and faced problems?
