10gen - yet another cloud computing platform
Document Actions
While everybody talks about porting zope to google app engine here might be an even better alternative. Open source and with a grid-aware object database!
10gen's software stack is roughly comparable to Google App Engine "in that it provides a new stack of tools (database, grid management, application server) that are purpose-built to run in a cloud environment,"
10gen provides:
- Automatic, on-demand application scaling across servers
- An innovative grid-aware object database
- MongoDB is a high-performance, schema-free document database designed
for cloud computing. It's network accessible, written in C++ and offers
the following interesting and novel features :
- Collection Oriented Storage
- Natural Document-style or JavaScript Query Language
- Server-side object updates
- Full indexing, including on inner objects
- Query profiling
- Replication and Failover Support
- Automatic geographic redundancy and data replication
- Support for multiple programming languages. Server-side Javascript, Python and Ruby are the first supported languages.
- Site management and performance evaluation tools
- Option to download software and 'run your own cloud'
- 24/7 support, SLAs
- Source code availability
To me this looks like a much better match then the proprietary Google App Engine.
