DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS

9       Catalyst applications are most often deployed as a FastCGI or mod_perl
10       application (with FastCGI being the recommended option). However, as
11       Catalyst is based on the PSGI specification, any web handler
12       implementing that specification can be used to run Catalyst
13       applications.
14
15       This documentation most thoroughly covers the normal and traditional
16       deployment options, but will mention alternate methods of deployment,
17       and we welcome additional documentation from people deploying Catalyst
18       in non-standard environments.
19
20   Deployment in a shared hosting environment
21       Almost all shared hosting environments involve deploying Catalyst as a
22       FastCGI application on Apache. You will usually want to have a set of
23       libraries specific to your application installed on your shared host.
24
25       Full details of deploying Catalyst in a shared hosting environment are
26       at Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::SharedHosting.
27
28   FastCGI
29       FastCGI is the most common Catalyst deployment option. It is documented
30       generally in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::FastCGI, and there are
31       specific instructions for using FastCGI with common web servers below:
32
33       Apache

37       nginx

40
41       lighttpd

44
45       Microsoft IIS
46
47       Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::IIS::FastCGI
48
49   mod_perl
50       Traditionally a common deployment option for dedicated applications,
51       mod_perl has some advantages and disadvantages over FastCGI. Use of
52       mod_perl is documented in
53       Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::Apache::mod_perl.
54
55   Development Server
56       It is possible to deploy the Catalyst development server behind a
57       reverse proxy. This may work well for small-scale applications which
58       are in an early development phase, but which you want to be able to
59       show to people. See Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::DevelopmentServer.
60
61   PSGI
62       Catalyst can be deployed with any PSGI-compliant handler. See
63       Catalyst::PSGI for more information; a list of possible deployment
64       servers are shown below:
65
66       NGINX Unit
67
68       NGINX Unit <https://unit.nginx.org> is a lightweight, dynamically
69       configurable web app server that supports running PSGI-capable apps.
70
71       Starman
72
73       Starman is a high-performance Perl server implementation, which is
74       designed to be used directly (rather than behind a reverse proxy). It
75       includes HTTP/1.1 support, chunked requests and responses, keep-alive,
76       and pipeline requests.
77
78       Starlet
79
80       Starlet is a standalone HTTP/1.0 server with keep‐alive support which
81       is suitable for running HTTP application servers behind a reverse
82       proxy.
83
84       Twiggy
85
86       Twiggy is a high-performance asynchronous web server. It can be used in
87       conjunction with Catalyst, but there are a number of caveats which mean
88       that it is not suitable for most deployments.
89
90   Chef
91       Chef <https://www.chef.io/products/chef-infra/> is an open-source
92       systems integration framework built specifically for automating cloud
93       computing deployments. A Cookbooks demonstrating how to deploy a
94       Catalyst application using Chef is available at
95       <https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/catalyst> and
96       <https://github.com/melezhik/cookbooks/wiki/Catalyst-cookbook-intro>.
