Description
The Path to Stackato
Jeff Hobbs, CTO and VP of Engineering, ActiveState
Platform: The Cloud Foundry Conference (http://www.platformcf.com) September 8-9, 2013
A
So
yeah
I'm
teach
you
have
active
States
been
around
since
97.
You
made
know
things
like
active
pearl
and
active
Python.
Nowadays,
a
lot
of
our
focus
is
on
staccato
platform-as-a-service,
all
built
on
Cloud,
Foundry
and
I'm,
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
path
staccato
bit
about
how
it
differentiates
builds
upon
Cloud,
Foundry
and
where
we
are
so
just
a
bit
of
the
timeline,
we
were
actually
building
something
we
called
it.
Multi
pass
and
the
prior
to
cloud
foundries
announcement
and
in
April
2011
evaluated.
A
A
It
was
basically
every
30
to
60
days,
new
versions
and
it's
great
you
know,
building
on
top
of
Cloud
Foundry
we've
been
able
to
make
a
whole
brand
new
seven
figure,
business
and
growing,
with
customers
in
finance,
high-tech
and
defense,
and
it's
pass
is
definitely
getting
very
interesting
and
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
staccato
3.0,
which
is
going
to
be
coming
soon.
But
first
you
know:
there's
there's
a
lot
of
features.
We're
talking
about
and
you'll
want
to
show
a
few
of
these.
A
A
That's
been
built
up,
but
we
were
one
of
the
original
youth
partners
with
the
Python
tech
community
lead,
and
you
know
those
who've
worked
in
the
v1
ecosystem
it
while
it
was
open
source,
it
wasn't
particularly
open,
so
we're
looking
forward
to
a
lot
more
engagement
in
the
v2
ecosystem.
So
again,
looking
mostly
were
recognized
what
it
that's
pretty
close
to
what
you
would
see
for
a
Cloud
Foundry
diagram,
this
one
that
has
a
few
features
in
it
that
are
specific
to
staccato.
A
But
you
know
again
some
of
the
features
oh
and
the
next
one
there
on
the
list.
The
staccato
client
yeah
single
file,
executable
Windows,
Mac
Linux,
thanks
guys
for
realizing
nobody
likes
rubygems
Komodo
integration,
which
is
our
ID
either
as
already
Eclipse
integration.
Komodo
is
one
of
the
primary
IDE
s
for
PHP
Python,
Perl,
Ruby
users.
A
Then
you
get
some
extra
features
there:
SSH
and
DB
shell
application
access,
staging
and
runtime
hooks
support
for
cron
management,
console
persistent
file
system
service,
log
yard,
it's
essentially
a
logger
Gator,
except
we're,
probably
at
a
v2
version
of
it.
By
now
centralized
cluster
management
ports
as
a
service,
something
that
replaces
UA
a
because
I
think
that
most
people
who've
had
to
instantiate
UA
a
would
love
anything
that
replaces
it
oracle,
DB
provisioner
stuff,
like
that.
A
What
I
really
want
to
talk
about,
though,
is
staccato
v3,
so
I
mean
that's
all
there
right
now,
let's
look
a
little
bit
about
what's
coming
so
a
few
new
things
in
the
the
console
is:
there's
new
dashboards,
so
these
are
completely
real-time
using
our
rewritten
router
for
high
performance.
It's
all
WebSocket
use
the
speedy
things
like
that.
This
is
you
know.
Interactive
will
bounce
around
those
little
gauges
if
you're,
hammering
the
system
app
store
in
there,
which
didn't
mention.
But
again
you
can,
you
know,
push
button
for
Jenkins
Bugzilla.
A
Whatever
you
want
to
do
out
of
the
box,
then
one
of
the
biggest
features
is
to
caught
a
timeline.
You
kind
of
think
of
it.
Maybe
it's
chatter,
but
for
path
systems,
and
it's
basically
the
difference
between
you
know.
Git
and
github.
Right
get
great.
You
put
your
sources
in
it,
but
everyone
likes
github,
because
oh
look
I
can
comment
exactly
on
this
particular
line
of
code
or
hey
I
want
to
make
a
pull
request.
Well
in
the
staccato
timeline,
you
can
actually
say:
oh
there's
a
pushed
application.
Oh
I
need
to
make
a
comment.
A
A
A
So
want
to
get
the
last
part
the
Cloud
Foundry
ecosystem.
So
one
thing
to
note
is
staccato:
v3
is
based
on
the
CF
v2
trunk,
so
we
are
working
right
off
the
head
now
and
obviously
we
have
a
vested
interest
in
the
strong
ecosystem,
and
you
know
I
must
say:
I'm
I'm
really
encouraged
by
some
of
the
the
way
pivotal
really
opened
things
up
from
where
VMware
had
it
stuck
in
building
a
real
actual,
open
ecosystem.
A
But
I
do
think
this
really
needs
to
extend
to
design
as
well
as
bug
fixes
it's
nice
to
be
able
to
make
a
pull
request
for
anybody.
But
there's
a
lot
of
aspects
of
design
that
you
know
did
more
than
one
company
should
be
talking
about
and
that
model
of
open
governance
is
important.
You
know,
there's
Oracle
claims
open
governance,
so
does
the
Apache
Software
Foundation,
but
they
totally
go
about
it
in
different
ways.
So
that
was
a
quick
sneak
peek
of
staccato
v3
and
with
that
say,
thanks.
