CohesiveFT Announces Immediate Availability of Django 1.0 within the Elastic Server® Platform
Python developers can easily push their Django-powered web applications to market in real-time
CHICAGO, September 4, 2008 -- In conjunction with the landmark release of the popular Django web framework, CohesiveFT, the leading enabler of real-time software assembly, today announced immediate availability of an Elastic Server site for assembling virtualization and cloud-ready, Django-based servers. Elastic Server is a community-powered platform that lets developers assemble software components for the infrastructure and application stack of their choice for real-time deployment to popular virtual or cloud-computing environments, including Amazon EC2(TM). The inclusion of Django's 1.0 Elastic Server site follows the company's recent addition of Ruby on Rails as well as the LAMP frameworks, providing users with ready-made components for dynamic assembly, testing, and deployment.
"The official release of Django 1.0 is a major milestone for all of the Python developers who have created highly scalable applications to run on this innovative web framework," said Patrick Kerpan, chief technology officer at CohesiveFT. "We wanted to give them an easy method for handing off a working virtual computer to test, staging or production. Although our in-house development team kickstarted the Django community site, the beauty of our platform is that it is flexible enough for anyone to support a community of interest for their particular stack or application," he continued. "There is no faster way to get dynamically assembled applications to the cloud."
The Elastic Server platform lets users choose their components from a library of popular software stacks. The platform also allows any individual, team or company to import their software components, a crowd-sourced practice that ensures the library continually reflects evolving market preferences. Once assembled, these custom application stacks can be configured to a variety of virtualization and cloud-ready formats, downloaded and deployed in real-time.
The Elastic Server platform features a dashboard that highlights the most popular user-selected components as well as an overall view of community activity. Users can also distribute their finished servers through the Elastic Server platform. There are currently more than a thousand community users contributing more than three thousand Elastic Servers to the market. To learn more, visit http://es.cohesiveft.com/site/django.
