The goal of this project is to explore the concept of multitenancy web application and service hosting. Particularly, we want to flush out the pain points of the various technologies which could potentially make up our toolchain.
See this wikipedia article for more info.
Currently, the stack in use includes CouchDB, Node.js, and CoffeeScript.
git clone git://github.com/thisgeek/multitenancy-prototype.git
It includes git submodules pointing to coffee-script, jasmine-node, jsdom, and nave (see below).
CouchDB install docs: wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installation
Node.js project source page: github.com/joyent/node
You'll need version >= 0.4.7
Using nave the virtual Node.js environment, is recommended for Node.js installations. Nave allows you to keep many versions of Node.js installed on a single machine for easy access to any version of Node.js at your fingertips. This is a fantastic way to ease the pain of dealing with a fast moving platform under heavy development.
For more about Nave, see the project page.
Initialize the project with:
cd multitenancy-prototype/
bin/init
And run the tests with
bin/cake test
Your git repository may be periodically updated with
bin/cake update
This will pull the latest remote changes from the git submodule repositories and reconfigure this repository for them.
Warning! Updating your repository can cause things to break because it pulls in the latest changes from all the dependency submodules. Dependency projects like to change the way things work and when these changes are pulled into your repo it will likely cause you pain. So...
Don't do bin/cake update on your master branch.
! Note that JS files (*.js) are not tracked, since all JS source code is
written in CoffeeScript (*.coffee).
Checkout the README files in bin/ and spec/
That's all so far... more soon
