It's been SOP for some time (at least 20 years) to use an RDBMS to store your site's content and write a stateless application server to pull data from it and compose a response. Call it the "CMS pattern".
Static site generation, and a few other ideas, challenges this basic pattern, but most of the worlds applications use it. Javelin is trying to make the pattern better on several axes, simplicity first-and-foremost, and not replace it.
- freedomben 4y agoI truly mean this with love, but this is the most Java comment I've seen in a long time :-D And (in the Java/enterprise world) is completely correct.
- javajosh 4y agoFunny, I had a LAMP stack in mind while writing it, and more specifically WordPress. For all the enterprise Java webapps out there, I bet there are 1000x more php sites. And they all use the same basic cms pattern.
- freedomben 4y agoheh, very good point. WordPress is absolutely everywhere and is exactly this model. I think WordPress forged the path too, so definitely deserves the "blame"
