cool! is it beanstalk-able :-) ? are you married to mongo? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Prudence 1.1 and the Savory Framework for MongoDB From: Tal Liron <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Thu 30 Jun 2011 07:30:15 PM CDT > Two open source products are announced in this email: > > > *PRUDENCE 1.1* > > > I am happy to announce the final release of Prudence 1.1! (Identical to > RC13.) > > > Prudence is a Restlet-centric container and platform for developing web > applications and services. It allows quick and easy configuration, > deployment and development of RESTful resources, and features a very > powerful caching system carefully integrated into the conditional HTTP > process. Develop your app in Java, Python, Ruby, Groovy, Clojure, PHP or > JavaScript. It's a more RESTful alternative to JEE (which it does not > require nor use). > > > Prudence 1.1 takes you to the clouds: instances automatically discover > each other and form clusters (via Hazelcast) that can share global data > and tasks. Easily farm out your work in the cluster for > super-scalability and redundancy. Has been tested with 100 nodes on EC2! > > See our Restlet-centric page for more information: > > http://threecrickets.com/prudence/manual/restlet-container/ > > *THE SAVORY FRAMEWORK* > > Building on the Prudence 1.1 platform, Savory is the first comprehensive > web development framework for MongoDB, featuring strong integration with > the Ext JS and Sencha Touch client frameworks: > > http://threecrickets.com/savory/ > > Savory is still in "Early Bird" mode and needs some more fleshing out, > testing and documentation, but the core features are all there and ready > to rumble. > > *FEATURES* > > The Savory Framework offers especially scalable and robust solutions for > common web application needs. A partial list includes: > > * authentication, with support for logging in from Facebook, Twitter, > Windows Live and OpenID; > * fine-grained user permissions; > * new user registration, with captcha and email validation; > * email notification on a truly massive scale; > * per-user internationalization, with built-in consideration of > right-to-left languages; > * easy, fast text search with Lucene; > * discussion forums, including threaded comments that can be attached > to any documents; > * wiki-like functionality with support for site-wide revisions, > Tactile, Markdown and more; > * blog functionality, including support for Linkback and Trackback; > * sitemap generation, supporting millions of URLs; > * JSON-RPC and XML-RPC, client and server; > * RSS syndication; > * shopping carts with PayPal integration; > * HTML forms with server- and client-side validation; > * Gravatar; > * robust support for asynchronous processing ("please wait while > searching for you flights..."); > * and -- if you can believe it -- more... > > We're especially pleased with Savory's Ext JS integration: within > minutes of dev work you can connect any MongoDB collection to a > client-side editable grid, tree or chart. A clean Ext Direct > implementation creates a seamless RPC from client to server. > > Add Sencha Touch, and you get the fastest MongoDB-backed mobile app > development experience. Works on Android, iPhone, Blackberry. > > General-purpose backend services include asynchronous events that can be > triggered anywhere in the cluster, a powerful data caching mechanism, > and a "DRM" (not ORM!) Document-Resource-Mapping system that allows any > MongoDB collection to be exposed as an editable RESTful resource in your > URI-space. (This offers a customizable variation on MongoDB's REST API.) > > Bored or bedazzled with this announcement already? Just jump to the web > site and check out all the cool, live demos. > > *THE DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE* > > Savory offers development agility comparable to that of Rails and > Django. Quickly generate HTML based on your data or throw it into > powerful Ext JS grids, trees and charts. It is, moreover, lighter than > the old SQL solutions: MongoDB's no-nonsense storage does away with the > need of a complex ORM layer. Instead, in Savory you work with your data > directly in JavaScript, or process it through Savory's flexible iterator > framework. > > Development tools include a powerful web-based console (almost an online > IDE) and a beautiful source code documentation generator. MongoVision is > a recommended sister project. > > In many ways Savory is a post-MVC, even post-object-oriented framework: > the architecture is designed to avoid complex abstractions and layers > that are nudged between your code, your data and your subsystems. We > don't like wasting time debugging such layers or shoehorning them into > our requirements. Nor do we like hacking around an object's > encapsulation when it does not fit a simpler, more elegant solution. > Never should we have to pay for what we don't want or need. > > If you've never used JavaScript on the server, you're in for a pleasant > surprise. A Scheme-like language with a C-like syntax, its ability to > throw closures everywhere allows for succinct clarity. The combination > of JavaScript on the server, in MongoDB and in the client browser means > that you never have to switch programming paradigms, and can even share > code between environments. > > *A SOLID BASE* > > The scalable combination of Prudence and MongoDB can take your backend > very, very far. And Savory makes it even tastier. > > "Our web development framework tastes better than yours." > > Yours, > Tal Liron, > Three Crickets LLC > > ------------------------------------------------------ > http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2781974 > >
