You can also use Passenger to do this, since properly configuring Mongrel is a bit of a fuss. Usually you cannot use a single instance of Mongrel to handle anything other than an extremely light load, so you need to set up some kind of proxy balancer, at least, and from there you will have to monitor Mongrel processes in case anyone dies or gets too bloated and needs to be restarted.
Mongrel can be used in production, but it is much more than that of the Passenger.
