I recently built an ecommerce site for a clothing company [1] I founded with my twin: rails, the application / application_ruby cookbooks, and a 40 line recipe.. configuration management never ceases to amaze me [2].

The cookbooks are a bit rough around the edges, and could use some more documentation, but work great. It will also be less confusing when the old versions are fully deprecated. Let the list know if you have trouble.

To run rails apps with it, look at its sibling too: https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/application_ruby

Have a look at its README, create your recipe similar to the examples in the application_ruby README, and you should be 90% of the way, unless you have some special needs.
