REST is an architectural style modeled after the Web. Basically, it codifies the principles and methods behind Web servers that lead to the creation of the largest distributed system ever built. For some people "distributed" is about the plumbing – sending messages to remote servers – we're also thinking of the way large scale systems emerge from smaller services, built independently by different groups of people—distributed in design and in implementation.

The open-source Web server, which was originally created as "a patchy" version of the original NCSA HTTP server, has become a highly modular, and customizable, piece of software that can handle nearly anything that an Web site might require. Nearly every open-source Web developer used Apache -- except for programmers using the Ruby on Rails framework, for whom Apache was a poor fit. Instead, Rails developers typically deployed with lighttpd or Mongrel, using Apache or nginx for the site's static components.
