What tools/stacks Moncaì will rely on? [closed]

Question

On November, 11th, Moncaì has been announced.

The post describes the product as "a platform as a service(PAAS) cloud solution for .NET/Mono web applications" which would allow to "deploy your web applications with ease by using Git or Mercurial by simply issuing a push command" à la Heroku.

Beside this, very little is known about the supporting infrastructure.

• Manos may be involved (tweet)
• Maybe CouchDB could also be part through Ottoman API
• It looks like Redis will also be used (tweet)

What have you been able to gather about the choosen tools (messaging, storage, ...) to support the project ?

I'd never heard of it: +1 for bringing it to my attention. I'll certainly be watching this question... – Guidry

Answer 1

Some informations are in this podcast.

EDIT: major highlights from podcast:

• deployment of ASP.NET (MVC) applications a lot easier
• very close to what Heroku does, but for ASP.NET
• hosted git or mercurial server for deployment
• custom cloud infrastructure based on posix systems and mono
• option of picking the runtime (mono 2.6 LTS for .NET 3.5 or mono 2.8 for .NET 4.0)
• private beta - testing moncai with ~ 2k people
• fractional computing and billing
• free option for hobbyist and developers with low traffic
• sandboxed security - each user have separate process for his stuff
• you don't have to worry about load or scale
• add-ons for various stuff (batch jobs, ssl, ...)
• plans for ssh to customize the VPSs
• you will be able to choose between various frameworks like ASP.NET (MVC), manos, ...

I think that would spoil a bit the tracking/gathering of leaked information, wouldn't it ? – Thymelaeaceous

but it would at least gather some official information:) – Nainsook

Well.. You're right :-) How about requesting some up-to-date information and edit your answer with the answers you'll be provided with ? – Thymelaeaceous

this post starts to look like the author is too lazy to actually gather the information he needs and keeps asking users to do the research for him... Personally i dont actually care about Moncai, as it seems to be a web framework .NET oriented and i prefer PHP or python for that. I asnwered this question as a simple suggestion... – Nainsook
