Sorry, I don't know what "Backbone" is. I see links to New Relic and Pivotal Labs, but no links to anything called "Backbone". I guess this blog post was maybe not meant for purely technical people, but it would be nice to understand what "Backbone" is, and exactly why it would solve their problems.

I hate to be That Asshole, but https://www.google.com/search?q=backbone https://www.google.com/search?q=backbone The first link is to a javascript library widely known in the web development community.

  I actually did a google search for https://www.google.com/search?q=backbone+web https://www.google.com/search?q=backbone+web Which gave me the first hit of www.backbonemedia.com/ In fact, backbone.js is no where on the first page for that search. That's amazing it comes up first for "backbone". I did actually find that link eventually, and try out the "example" todo list, but that gave me no information about how this would fix a garbage collection problem. Does anyone know how it fixed their GC problem?

    Ha. Well, that's why I'm the asshole. ;)

    It fixed their garbage collection problem by reducing the amount of server-side processing they had to do (and hence, reducing the amount of garbage that required collection). Rather than send completely rendered HTML to the browser, they're using javascript in the browser to turn the data coming from the server into the rendered page.

    The article was confusing a bit confusing about the Garbage Collection so I'll try to explain. 1. Dispora is slow, why? 2. Requests take a long time on the server, why? 3. Most of the time is spent in ruby doing processing. 4. Why is ruby slow? 5. Ruby is slow because of the garbage collector. 6. How can we get around this ruby being slow problem? 7. Reduce calls to server side by writing replacing server side calls with javascript rendering of templates and whatnot.

Here's a link: http://backbonejs.org/ http://backbonejs.org/ Perhaps more importantly, here are some examples of what sites are doing with it: http://backbonejs.org/#examples http://backbonejs.org/#examples

Backbone is a javascript framework that makes web application development easier using the model, view, controller paradigm in the browser. You can connect your JSON models to pre-defined view templates and get fancy features like auto-updating views when your models change without you directly manipulating the dom like say if you used jQuery.

Not sure why you got down-voted. It's entirely possible that you don't get the same search results on Google as I do if we're logged in because of what Google 'remembers' as our browsing habits and interests.
