An experimental auto-scaler for the {Unicorn}[http://unicorn.bogomips.org] webserver. Designed for Unicorn webservers running with the {Raindrops}[raindrops.bogomips.org] middleware enabled. It depends on the "active" and "queued" fields reported by Raindrops, and so only works on Linux.
== Usage
Alicorn ships with two executables, alicorn and alicorn-profiler.
alicorn: this is the main command-line utility: run alicorn --help to see the list of options and learn how to configure it.
alicorn-profiler: this is a tool to help determine useful parameters for alicorn. it's recommended that you run alicorn in dry-run and verbose mode for awhile, collect the resulting logs, and feed those through alicorn-profiler to get a handle on what settings you'll need. Same story, run alicorn-profiler --help to figure out what the options are and how you can tweak them.
== Versioning
Alicorn attempts to follow the {Semantic Versioning Specification}[semver.org]. Every release in the 0.x series should be considered a DEVELOPMENT version. The public API should not be considered stable.
