Simple Twitter: Play Framework, AJAX, CRUD on Heroku

javacodegeeks.com

Putting a memory hungry framework on a tightly managed platform that has strict, albeit upgrade-able limits makes sense for Heroku, but why would developers go for that ?

From my experience, seeing the java process take more than 200 MB while serving a Hello World application is normal.

memory hungry framework? Got any data to back that up?

according to the discussion at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4882217/play-framework-me...

shows that you can serve a site on Play that serves 100k requests/day on just 64mb VPS. That's pretty damn good.

Uggh. It appears to be blog spam. Complete copy pasta from original source -> http://geeks.aretotally.in/twitter-playframework-heroku

Dear djb_hackernews and all,

Prior throwing accusations about Java Code Geeks "stealing" content, please take the time and check the reference at the end of the article! The original author is a JCG (Java Code Geek - http://www.javacodegeeks.com/p/jcg.html) thus is part of a Java developer community that is committed to share their knowledge and experiences so as to help each other. As with all of our JCG members we have granted full privilege to republish and promote every article they write that we believe is valuable to the rest of the JCG community.

Furthermore we (the Java Code Geeks community founders) are Java developers ourselves and have contributed first (and still contributing) with high quality articles. That is the reason that we do not want to simply maintain a link aggregator site but a site that will host the most valuable content for the Java developers community. On top of that by submitting the link pointing to the reposted article (hosted on Java Code Geeks) and not the one pointing to the original author's blog we promote not only the specific author's work but the work of all the Java Code Geeks community; since our site is the entry point for them all. That is our obligation towards all of our JCG members!

As far as content duplication is concerned I just wanted to pinpoint that in the majority of cases we do not just copy and paste content; We perform lexical and syntactical corrections (since many of our JCG partners do not speak English as their prime language) along with article and code snippets formatting so as every article to be as readable as it can be.

I hope I covered all your doubts about Java Code Geeks.

Appreciate your reply, do note I am not the downvoter.

However, my claim still stands. Editing for typos and reposting on a blog that has A LOT of advertising on it is still blog spam.

Call me weird, but I'd prefer if the original source was posted to HN, in all of it's typo glory.

Great write up. I'm just waiting for an idea to use as a reason to build something using Play.

I wonder what sort of traction Play has currently...

I guess switching jvm languages from Groovy to Scala for version 2.0 will prove difficult to recieve traction just at this moment at least. Develop in soon to become obsolete version 1 or wait for the next language-du-jour version...

I think groovy is out of the map for Play v2.0, in any case it's going to be a while for it to be production ready, so I guess the current version still has some life on it.

Sort of a dead end though? Do they plan to still support groovy? Not something for a long term project anyway.
