Ezra agreed to co-found Engine Yard in January 2006, and was full-time in August or September I believe.
Merb was built to handle a high-traffic endpoint for one of our customers. :-)
- milesf 12y agoSo Merb's genesis was in response to a customer's need? I remember Rails, Ruby, and the hosting stack being mighty slow back in the early days.
- piyushpr134 12y agoMerb started as essentially a wrapper on top of mongrel handler. Merb = Mongrel + erb. Mongrel had concurrency and it was super lightweight. However, it did not have goodies like routing or templating engine. Ezra write Merb as modular framework which did not care if you used datamapper or active record. Haml or ERB.
- tmornini_ey 12y agoYes, it was 100% in response to our customers' needs.
