Infrastrutture elastiche e piattaforme per lo sviluppo agile, sono questi i nuovi strumenti per realizzare siti e applicazioni nell’era del digital business. Enter Cloud Suite, servizio cloud europeo basato su OpenStack, permette di creare batterie di server in pochi secondi, scalarli, replicarli o eliminarli quando non servono più. M.E.A.N. (MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, Nod.js) è un stack open source emergente basato completamente su JavaScript. Dal connubio tra le due tecnologie nasce Crowdcore, il nuovo framework per verticalizzare piattaforme di crowd economy.

BACK END
Giovanni Lela

19. MILAN november 28th/29th 2014
WHY
• I/O intensive REST APIs
• horizontal scalability
• leverage existing javascript know-how
• huge community

20. MILAN november 28th/29th 2014
WHY
• (mostly) non relational data
• horizontal scalability (again)
• mongoose ODM

21. MILAN november 28th/29th 2014
WHY
• Unopinionated
• VERY modular
• Mature

22. MILAN november 28th/29th 2014
6 MONTHS LATER…

23. MILAN november 28th/29th 2014
nodeJS IS OK BUT…
• You need something to fight the
callback hell (Bluebird)
• Needs static typing
• Too many community packages
are too many

24. MILAN november 28th/29th 2014
Mongo DB and mongoose
ARE OK BUT…
• Mongoose Schemas are great
o Validation
o Referencing other documents
o Schema inheritance
o Plugins

25. MILAN november 28th/29th 2014
EXPRESS IS OK BUT…
• Easy to extend
• Maybe too much unopinionated

26. MILAN november 28th/29th 2014
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
• Typescript
• ES6 generators - koa

DREAMS… AS A SERVICE
• Easy disaster recovery, replica
and versioning: NO limits!

44. MILAN november 28th/29th 2014

KEY FINDINGS

46. MILAN november 28th/29th 2014
3 LESSONS
• Technology supports the crowd
economy
• MEAN provide high scalability and
flexibility
• Cloud native applications do
“manage” cloud infrastructures
(deployment, autoscaling, …)
