The long march into the future

Core Merb Principles

Performance

Requests Per Second

Thin Mongrel

Thin Mongrel

match("/router").defer_to do |req, res| [ 200, {"Content-Type" => "text/html"}, "Hello" ]end

Threadsafety

Merb::Config[:use_mutex]

class User cattr_accessor :currentend

class Foo < Merb::Controller before do User.current = session.user endend

class User cattr_accessor :currentend

Shared state hurts puppies

Solutions

Thread-local

class User def self.current=(user) Thread.current[:user] = user end def self.current Thread.current[:user] endend

Using a Hash across threads

Hash {:x => 5}

Thread 1 Thread 2

Hash {:x => 5}

Thread 1 Thread 2

Hash {:x => 5}

Thread 1 Thread 2

Read x

Hash {:x => 5}

Thread 1 Thread 2

Read x Write x=”1”

Hash {:x => 5}

Thread 1 Thread 2

clear x

Hash {:x => 5}

Thread 1 Thread 2

clear x

is there an x?

Hash {:x => 5}

Thread 1 Thread 2

clear x

is there an x?

x = 1no? return nil

Hash {:x => 5}

Thread 1 Thread 2

Hash {:x => 5}

Thread 1 Thread 2

Read x

is there an x?

yes? return 5

Hash {:x => 5}

Thread 1 Thread 2

Write x=”1”

clear x

Read x

is there an x?

yes? return 5

Hash {:x => 5}

Thread 1 Thread 2

Hash {:x => 5}

Thread 1 Thread 2

Write x=”1”

clear x

Hash {:x => 5}

Thread 1 Thread 2

Write x=”1”

clear x

Read x

is there an x?

yes? return 1

Hash {:x => 5}

Mutexes make non-atomic operations atomic

Quick demo

Good Ruby citizen

Rubygems

Rubygems :(

Rubygems -- but getting :)

Working with community == helping the community

Rack middleware

Where is this going?

Apps as a first-class concept

module MyApp class TemplateIo < Application def index render end def two render end endend

MyApp::Application

module MyApp extend Merb::App mount ::Blog, :at => "/blog" Config[:framework] = flatend

Blog::Config[:log_delimiter] = "BLOG: "

Admin Application/Framework

CMS Application

DB Admin Application

Slices on Steroids

Resources as a first-class concept

module MyApp class Resource < Merb::Resource def list(klass) klass.all end def get(klass, ids) klass.get(ids) end def authorized?(namespace, *args) user == "wycats" end

def user request.session.user end endend

DRYing up common idioms

Increasing flexibility (where needed)

Core principle:Simple cases can’t get harder

Further improve merb server

Short term

Long term

Dynamic worker pools

Remove need for nginx

Self-managing cluster

Additional modules

Feed syndication

Flat pages

More powerful router

Router directly to a view

even better resource()

Framework for OSS Apps

Authentication

User Management

Authorization

Note:Communication primitives

Tailored stacks

Designers

Web shops
