Technology stacks.

[Chris Dew]

What software are others here using, or considering for Long Week
Startups?

What I initially had thought looked like this:

KnockoutJS, jQuery, jQuery Templates
HTTP / SocketIO
Express
NodeJS
Redis or BarricaneDB

After some reconsideration, I realised that if I want to get something
released after only a week of work I should remove everything that I
don't know inside out.

Now it looks a lot more traditional:

KnockoutJS, jQuery, jQuery Templates
HTTP / SocketIO
Pound
Apache-Django / NodeJS
MySQL

This has the downside that I will be writing page fragment twice, once
as Django templates and once as jQuery templates for client-side
rendering. Also, this probably won't perform as well at scale, but if
I need more performance than MySQL on an 8GB quad-code server can
provide, that will be a very good thing.

What technologies are you considering?

All the best,

Chris.
