An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
First came application servers, designed for on-premises installs and powerful enough to run Java Enterprise Edition at scale. Then came runtimes like Tomcat, lighter weight and better suited to the cloud. Today we have microservices: parsimonious bits of code with their own minimal, built-in runtime.
Pulzze Interactor combines the best of these three types of runtime environments into a single, event-driven platform with a footprint under 100 megabytes – small enough to serve as an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway or run in a Docker container. It can even serve as its own container, or run on a Raspberry Pi.
In addition, Interactor features an as-yet unnamed declarative language that simplifies the process of building event-driven apps to the bare minimum. For example, creating a web server from scratch and running a ‘Hello World’ page on it takes less than half a dozen lines of English-like declarative code.
