New AppJet And CouchDB Hosting
We have been busy working on the hosting platform to bring it to the next level. AppJet.jar and CouchDB make a great couple and offer a solution for building more "serious" applications. From now on CouchDB will be the main database for AppJet apps, offering some great advantages, technically and for you as a developer:
- Flexible, scalable and increased storage
- JavaScript everywhere (server, database and client)
- A built-in data administration GUI
- A flexible security model for your data
- Support for attachments (css, templates, images etc.)
- Two-way replication for mobile apps, off-line apps and new use cases
- A strong and active community
- Excellent documentation in form of books, presentations, and more
- No lock-in. Take your data and programs where you like.
CouchDB's RESTful interface and JSON format fit nicely into AppJet's programming model. For an example see the couchdb-test app and it's source.
And the best part: Free CouchDB hosting will start very, very soon for every developer on JGate.
