Hivext Platform is a cloud platform for developing Internet applications. Beta testing

A year and a half ago, two enthusiastic developers, who discussed each other's articles, met on the hub Having talked more closely, they realized that they lacked a product that would make it easier, more flexible and faster to develop web applications. So the idea of ​​developing a platform for developers was born. A little over a year of design and development has passed.

At the moment, we have something to show and let you feel our product.

We invite developers who are not indifferent to the topic of software development using cloud platforms, who are interested in new approaches to development, to take part in the closed beta testing of the Hivext Platform. We really hope for the presence of those who want to criticize or help our development from the heart.

Short description (synopsis)

Hivext Platform is

• A set of various ready-made services (registration, authentication, access rights service, and many others)
• Local access to services from server scripts;
• Network access to services using the following protocols REST, SOAP, JSONP, AMF (Flash);
• Support for popular programming languages ​​on the server (server-side logic scripting). So far, this is Java and server-side Javascript (hereinafter in Python, Ruby, and others). On the client side, you can use any programming language;
• Template engines (scripting of server logic). While this is EJS (link);
• Hosting + access to resources via FTP and the ability to export / import databases;
• Automatic scaling (allocation of resources between applications).

During the development year, it was possible to combine many individual elements into one system - a platform where each individual service complements the others, creating a really powerful solution for the rapid development of Internet applications.

An intuitive API is provided to the developer, all the development and further functioning of the applications goes through it.

The environment is accessible from any modern browsers and allows you to manage application settings, databases, scripts. Hive IDE can be used not only as a development environment, but also as application data management (publishing, deleting, data retrieval). Developed based on the platform API + ExtJS for the graphical interface.
