Erlang, CouchDB, Yaws and MochiWeb Amazon Machine Instance

14 Jun

I call this my erlang playground instance.  Here’s what’s installed:

  1. Ubuntu Server Hardy 8.0.4
  2. Apache 2 listening to port 80
  3. Erlang R12B-3
  4. CouchDB 0.8 listening to port 5984
  5. Yaws v1.76 listening to port 8080
  6. MochiWeb Library

The instance ID is ami-12ae4a7b and I’ve made it public so feel free to use it to your hearts content!

I plan to add to this instance whenever I find time.  I definitely want to get SSL socket communication going using this tutorial.  I’m also interested in Kevin’s virtuerl project over a hypotheticalabs for quick and easy VM management because the whole reason I’m going through the trouble of doing this on EC2 is I think development on any erlang system should start and end with multiple physical machines.

Linux, Yaws, CouchDB, Erlang – LYCE

23 May

Just had a funny thought since CouchDB and Erlang have been on my mind so much lately. Everyone’s familiar with the LAMP and WISC stacks, right? (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP and Windows, IIS, SQLServer, C# from those of you who aren’t)

Could the next big stack to hit mainstream be LYCE – Linux, Yaws, CouchDB, and Erlang?

Given that scalability is such a huge issue right now, and Elastic/Cloud computing is almost certainly the next big infrastructure movement, I certainly think at least Erlang and CouchDB will go mainstream.

Another variant could be LYSE – Linux, Yaws, SimpleDB, and Erlang.
