[erlang-questions] Framework advise

[Tim McNamara]

Good luck developing the prototype Jayson. You may want to give some
reasons why the Frankenstein middleware isn't performing to get the
most helpful responses.

Are you just want to creating an authenticated front-end for a
database? Without knowning more, I would say that facilitating single
sign-on will be the trickest part. Creating a database front end will
be pretty easy. You might want to look at Chicago Boss's Boss_DB
project (https://github.com/evanmiller/boss_db), which will allow you
to easily create an adapter for MS SQL if one doesn't already work for
you.
