Server-side Bots

[Andy L]

Georg and I have done a bit of experimentation with server-side bots, and I think they will be ideal for researchers.

Server-side bots run on a Bugmark development server and have direct access to the application business objects.  By skipping the web layer, bots are 10x faster and can call more features than are exposed in our restful API.  We also added 'turbo mode' which allows the bot writer to disable metrics and event generation for maximum speed.

We're searching for a simple way to expose our Ruby business objects to python bot writers.  If anyone is interested in doing a prototype with `rython` a python/ruby interface library please raise your hand.

Update:

Andy and I re-created the trivial bot as a server-side bot.

Time comparison (simulating 10 days):

11m29s  - old bot (API calls)

1m25s  - new bot (with metrics)

0m37s  - new bot (no metrics)

Speed boost of 8x and 18x respective!

Thank you Andy!

Best,

Georg
