[erlang-questions] [ANN] CloudI 1.1.1 Released!

[Michael Truog]

I know there isn't a guickstart or user tutorial yet, and I have been putting that off.  The closest thing that currently exists is the tests, which do serve as examples (https://github.com/okeuday/CloudI/tree/master/src/tests), but I understand there should be a user tutorial that provides an explanation and context for creating a service, so that people don't get driven away by too much time spent.  I will do that for the next release to make sure that gets done before I add more features/services (you are not the first person to complain about this).

Thanks,
Michael

I read the faq, the github readme, this email and I still have no idea how to use it or have any degree of certainty what exactly it is for.

>     CloudI (http://www.cloudi.org/) is meant to be a "universal integrator" using an Erlang core, with its actor model, to pursue efficiency, fault-tolerance and scalability.  The CloudI API provides a minimal interface to communicate among actors that are called services or jobs (they are services, ran as if they are jobs, in parallel), so programming language agnostic, database agnostic, and messaging bus agnostic integration can occur.  CloudI currently integrates with the programming languages Erlang, C/C++, Java, Python, and Ruby, the databases PostgreSQL, MySQL, couchdb, memcached, and tokyotyrant, the messaging bus ZeroMQ and the internal CloudI messaging.  HTTP is also supported for easy integration with cowboy and misultin.  If anyone is willing to get involved, don't hesitate to contact me or start looking at the code.

I have been working through build and install issues on Ubuntu and OSX, but no issues currently remain.  If you run into any problems, please don't hesitate to report them (here https://github.com/okeuday/CloudI/issues/new ).
