Extreme Performance with Mirah and Dubious Build apps that can scale rapidly John Woodell July 28, 2010 2 Saturday, August 28, 2010

Spin-up time can make scaling “painful” • The most critical issue to be resolved is spin-up time, App Engine scales by adding new application instances. • Even if initialization could happen without affecting users some apps will need to scale instantly. 3 Saturday, August 28, 2010

Benefits of Mirah on App Engine • Ruby syntax & apparent features + Java type system • Use Java or Ruby when Mirah lacks features you require • The generated Java source can be inspected at any time • Macros and plugins can be written in Ruby or Mirah • New instances always spin-up in about a second 4 Saturday, August 28, 2010

Working with Dubious • Dubious framework uses familiar Rails conventions • Generate JSONs or work with ERb templates • MirahModel syntax is similar to DataMapper • Developers can create apps entirely in Rails, then refactor URLs that need to scale quickly • Some important features are currently missing, but “you” could have fun contributing them 5 Saturday, August 28, 2010

Mirah apps should look familiar to Rubyists Saturday, August 28, 2010

Mirah apps can use ERb templates Saturday, August 28, 2010

The generated Java source can be inspected Saturday, August 28, 2010

The ERb is transformed into method calls Saturday, August 28, 2010

Your model definition is very concise Saturday, August 28, 2010

Code is generated based on properties you define Saturday, August 28, 2010

All the basic methods you need are generated Saturday, August 28, 2010
