Open Source as A Service

Transcript

1. Open Source as A Service ICT Days Trento – 21/03/2013
2. Who Am I @yawnt github.com/yawnt yawn.localhost@gmail.com I do code. I’m a developer from Vicenza (Italy) who also loves snowboarding and traveling.
3. So how does a PAAS actually work?
4. CASE STUDY
5. What Nodejitsu is  it’s a PAAS (acronym that stands for Platform as a Service)  PAAS (together with IAAS and SAAS) is a type of service model in the cloud computing industry  we make deploying and scaling web applications a breeze  the end customer doesn’t have to worry about hardware management and hosting configuration
6. What’s so special about it?  it’s the first platform entirely built on and for node.js  pretty much everything that composes it is open source on Github  highly community-focused (we love going to and sponsoring confs)  multiple clouds (Rackspace, Joyent, Azure, ..)
7. OSS @ Nodejitsu How it began
8. The early phases the technology wasn’t production ready, first year was spent evangelizing node to make sure it became more used and mature.  Nodejitsu is founded  $ node –v v0.2.0 2010 2011 2012/13
9. Private Beta  Nodejitsu is founded  $ node –v v0.2.0 2010 2011 2012/13  private beta  $ node –v v0.4.0 all the libraries were opensourced, distributed and maintained in order to make node more appealing to coders “we first built the ecosystem and then the business” @anoemi
10. Public beta and Individual Plans  public beta / paid plans  $ node –v v0.6.0-v0.8.0  Nodejitsu is founded  $ node –v v0.2.0 2010 2011 2012/13  private beta  $ node –v v0.4.0 other libraries were opensourced (pkgcloud and winstond amongst them) and Continuos Deployment with Github integration was added. Nodejitsu now hosts open source projects for free (https://opensource.jit.su)
11. OSS @ Nodejitsu Meet the family
12. Flatiron  32 repositories  full-stack Node.js web framework  collection of decoupled tools  promotes development separation and code organization github.com/flatiron
13. Nodejitsu  29 repositories  mostly system-oriented  abstraction over different providers (pkgcloud)  definition of protocols on the top of TCP (nssocket) github.com/nodejitsu
14. Node Apps  6 repositories  targeting beginners  examples of different apps targeting specific node.js features  great for learning github.com/nodeapps
15. Node Docs  66 repositories  general purpose documentation on node.js  submit your article with a pull request  full of neat tricks github.com/nodedocs
16. OSS @ Nodejitsu The Stack
17. A wild drone appears! App Think of a small VPS with some bundled tools that help you keep your application online and continuously monitor it Haibu Forever
18. Haibu  allows you to spawn and manage several node.js apps on a single server  wraps processes in a «carapace»  carapace allows Haibu to extend applications  carapace supports a plugin architecture enabling maximum flexibility github.com/nodejitsu/haibu Install it $ [sudo] npm install –g haibu
19. Forever  ensures that a script runs continuosly  supports log files  can be used with non-js scripts  if you plan to use it programmatically, forever- monitor is available github.com/nodejitsu/forever Install it $ [sudo] npm install –g forever
20. How it fits together Proxy + Load Balancer App App App • http • websockets
21. Http-Proxy  supports websockets  SNI compatible  low latency and minimal overhead  easy to use API, can work as a middleware github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy Install it $ [sudo] npm install –g http-proxy
22. An example var http = require('http'), proxy = require('http-proxy'); var proxy = proxy.createServer(8000, '127.0.0.1'); proxy.listen(9000); var server = http.createServer(function(req, res) { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'}); res.end("Hello <b>ICT Days</b>"); }); server.listen(8000);
23. What about deployment? Master API jitsu webhooks webops Deps Builder OMGSTART App Services Rest API
24. Jitsu  full Nodejitsu API support  ships with example node.js applications  integration with npm  multi-transport based logging system github.com/nodejitsu/jitsu Install it $ [sudo] npm install –g jitsu
26. That’s all folks! If you have questions feel free to ask now or catch me later.. also i have some Nodejitsu stickers in case you want one :D also.. Q&A!
