@bos31337 Running a startup (MailRank) on Haskell (por jasonofthel33t)
Even though this is an advanced talk, there’s still something here for business people who know very little about software but are interested in web startups.
Namely, at Minute 20 BOS ticks off the things that a web app needs to do, like:
- load balancing requests,
- proxying data off…
- for his Haskell code to bang on…
- in the cloud,
- receive requests from a Windows desktop software written in C#
- coördinate those with what he already had,
- store the data (thus evaluate a database appropriate for their problem),
- worry about server throughput,
- connect (bind) his (main) Haskell code to the database, to the server, to the webapp,
- evaluate server software,
This surveys the moving parts in an internet-based business.
