[Seaside] [ANN] GemStone BOF at Smalltalk Solutions 2007

[Monty Williams]

Here's the announcement made at the GemStone BOF at Smalltalk Solutions
2007. I added GemStone specific terminology in parentheses to make it
clearer to those of you already using GemStone. It was a great BOF, wish you
all could have been there.

Seaside under GLASS

Introducing a powerful new way to deploy desktop-like web applications --
GLASS: GemStone, Linux, Apache, Seaside, Smalltalk.

You may already be familiar with the advantages Seaside has over Ruby on
Rails. But you may be concerned that Seaside lacks native persistence or
won't scale.

By running your Seaside application in GemStone, you'll gain a Smalltalk
based Application Server and OODB that:

	

*	Provides fully transparent persistence that doesn't require
Object-Relational Mapping 


	

	

*	Scales to over a hundred billion objects and thousands of
simultaneous connections 


	

	

*	Supports fully ACID transactions to handle concurrency conflicts 


	

	

*	Handles up to 150 HTTP requests per second 


	

	

*	Directly loads Monticello packages into a GemStone VM 


	

GemStone/S is proven technology currently deployed in numerous global 2000
companies in the financial, container shipping, manufacturing, and utilities
sectors.

Here is a comparison of several 64-bit editions of GemStone/S that will be
available in Q3 of 2007:
