We're having some problems with Ruby apps on Sneakers and we're not out on how to solve them (yet).
Some issues we're tinkering with:

• what to do with Gems, should you be able to install them locally or only on the server
• should the app run in development mode? -> not production-like (which sneakers should be)
• should the app run in production mode? -> you need to recompile all your assets at every change and the app needs to restart all the time (we could fix this by monitoring file changes, but this will make the app slow)

So if you're planning on using the ruby box for ruby apps, be prepared to stumble upon some caveats.

I'll keep this issue open until we have a decent solution for ruby boxes (or we drop support).

The question is, why do people use Sneakers? To develop or to test their applications? Or Both?

In my opinion it is important that Sneakers stays as close as possible to the production environment, but the main goal is development. So it must have tools to aid that development. That's also the reason why I want to add a php profiler in the near future.

Maybe you can work with 2 roles: development and testing/production?
