Technologies chosen, development on the new inStudio has started
1 July 2010Technologies that will become a base for new inStudio have been chosen:
- Backend layer will be based on Erlang programming language
- Frontend layer will use Ruby on Rails framework
What does it mean for the development process and for inStudio itself?
Erlang is a programming language created by Ericsson for reliable software building – it allows the application to work continuously and serve many tasks at the same time. We have decided that Erlang will be a suitable base for the backend of inStudio, that is, between the user interface and data. This mediation process simplifies the management of such activities as archiving and file transcoding (change of format). It will guarantee our media asset management solution to be highly efficient and reliable.
At the same time the user interface will use Ruby on Rails technology, which assures quick and smooth design of the web application. This technology has also an ergonomic interface. It will help us bring you the best results as soon as possible.
Erlang and Ruby on Rails are a perfect and modern match in software development for the web.
