A Vision for Mobile Integrations using Node.js in Linux Containers

[mofoghlu]

Talk Abstract:

This talk will outline the underlying vision of Red Hat for the use of Node.js to power the server-side of mobile apps (Cloud Apps) and the creation of re-usable services (MBaaS Services), both using Node.js, caching and MongoDB for persistence.

Open access will be granted to all attendees to the current hosted SaaS solution that uses OpenShift 2.2 online to host these apps: https://openshift.feedhenry.com

The aim is to open source the mobile platform itself in the next 12 months, with the community name FeedHenry (c.f. http://feedhenry.org/). OpenShift, as a Red Hat product, is already is already open source, with the community name OpenShift Origin (c.f. http://www.openshift.org/). OpenShift 3, launched in June 2015 at Red Hat Summit, re-architects OpenShift to use kubernetes, Linux Containers and Ansible. OpenShift 2 and OpenShift 3 both support Node.js.
