Prudence 1.1
6/30/2011
We are happy to announce the official release of Prudence 1.1 (identical to RC13).
Prudence 1.1 takes you to the clouds: instances automatically discover each other and form clusters (via Hazelcast) that can share global data and tasks. Easily farm out your work in the cluster for super-scalability and redundancy. Has been tested with 100 nodes on EC2!

Prudence 1.0
1/22/2011
We are very happy to announce the release of Prudence 1.0.
It's been 4 months since we announced the first release candidate, and in the meanwhile we've polished out show-stopping bugs and added a few select useful features.
We find Prudence 1.0 to be perfectly stable and ready for production, and hope it will be as useful to you as it as has been to us.
It's now time to think of Prudence 1.1... Please join the Prudence Community and help create the future!
MongoVision
12/4/2010
We're happy to release a new open source product: MongoVision.
Here at Three Crickets, we love MongoDB, but were missing a good web frontend for it, such as phpMyAdmin provides for MySQL. So, we rolled our own, using the astounding Ext JS for the user interface.
There's a natural fit between MongoDB, Ext JS and Prudence's "Savory JavaScript" edition. With JavaScript in the database, the client and the server, you never have to switch languages. And Prudence's natural REST makes it very easy to work with Ext JS' RESTful data package.
Overall, we find the Linux/Ext-JS/MongoDB/Prudence stack (LEMP?) to be extremely productive.
To that end, we've also started a project to provide high-performance integration between Rhino, Prudence's JavaScript engine, and MongoDB. We hope it will help promote adoption of MongoDB on the JVM.
Talk: Prudence for Clojure
12/3/2010
In Chicago? Tal will be giving a talk about Prudence's Clojure edition, December 15th (Wednesday), 6pm, at ThoughtWorks (200 E. Randolph).
See the Meetup for more information.
The Clojure edition is Prudence's most exciting: the combination of Prudence's high-concurrency REST container and Clojure's persistent data structures promises very robust, scalable web applications.
If you've never used a Lisp before, don't be too intimidated: the Clojure meetup crowd always includes a mix of old hands and parentheses noobs.
