Bungee Connect: Bungee Grid-EC2, Bungee Application Server and Community Source Code Licensing
So here’s some information on some of Bungee Connects newest service offerings. I’ve been toying with it for a while but haven’t come to a conclusion on it yet. Once I finish a nice thorough review of the product I’ll get some more information out on it. But as of right now I’m not swayed one way or the other. Although they did have a nice display at the Web 2.0 Expo.
From their e-mail…
Yesterday Bungee Labs made three announcements, each of which is the direct result of the feedback provided by Bungee’s developer community.
We want to thank you for your feedback provided so far as part of our Beta and hope you enjoy the additional flexibility we’re providing to developers and businesses, and encourage you to keep the feedback coming so we can continue to improve the Bungee Connect platform.
We’re looking forward to hear your thoughts on the details linked to below!
“Bungee-powered application hosting on Bungee Grid-EC2 using Amazon’s Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2) infrastructure is available today upon special request for deployed applications running on the Bungee Connect (Beta) multi-tenant grids located in United States and Europe.
Beginning in June 2008, developers will be able to self-select and deploy their Bungee-powered applications on Amazon’s EC2 through the “Staging Tab” within Bungee Connect” - read more
“Developers wanting to deploy Bungee-powered applications on their own servers will be able to download a complete single-server Bungee Grid as virtual software appliance called the “Bungee Application Server”. The Bungee Application Server will be first made available in June 2008 to BCDN Early Adopter Program (EAP) members. EAPs have been very instrumental in providing our team with critical and timely feedback to improve capability, usability, performance, stability, and real-world scalability.
Beginning in mid-July this summer, broader availability of the Bungee Application Server will be extended to all BCDN participants during our Public-Beta Program. General Availability for sustained commercial deployment is expected in Q4 2008″ - read more
“One of the topics that frequently comes up when we’re talking with the Bungee Connect developer community is the topic of licensing. Today we want to outline for you where we are on this process and give you a good sense of Bungee Labs’ general direction” - read more
Many thanks for taking at a look at Bungee Connect.
I’d love to know what your thoughts are so far and see if there’s anything we can do to help you in your review of the platform. Please feel free to contact me: alexb@bungeelabs.com if you have any questions at all.
thanks,
Alex Barnett, VP Community, Bungee Labs.
