Fast Development Ideas on OpenShift

Fast Development Ideas on OpenShift

I always get inspired when talking with customers. I saw Tabulator this morning, in my daily nodejs update, and really liked it. Fast, simple, and flexible. Its a easy to use nodejs table plugin. Designed to use REST as a datasource. I've done this type of thing before, and really the new version looks exciting. So I was doing a bit of searching, and found RestHeart. RestHeart provides the "glue" to mongodb, with a lot of features. Add a menu system, and a bit of config data, and we can very rapidly build applications. Practically no coding on the back-end, and just a bit of wrapper around. I'd add a golang wrapper to serve the nodejs, and to provide unification between the components. All hosted as containers on OpenShift 4.x. Be even nicer to put this in a operator, and could spin up a application in no-time.

With the scale of Mongo, and the flexability, this is a great combination for application transformation into cloud native applications.


I have found your article randomly searching on LinkedIn. As one of the main committers of RESTHeart I'm glad you liked it. By the way, I'm looking at Tabulator and it looks very interesting :)
