I have a few quick questions about Erlang web apps. First, have any of
you guys had the opportunity to build an Erlang web app at work? If
so, how was the experience? Second, are there any other Erlang web
frameworks being used out there? ErlyWeb is the only one I've heard of
to this point.

Thanks!

I've built a couple of Erlang web apps at work. Both were built with
Yaws rather than ErlyWeb, because ErlyWeb doesn't (yet?) have built-in
support for SOAP, REST and XML-RPC - that doesn't mean I couldn't have
used ErlyWeb, but it didn't offer any advantage over Yaws in this
respect.

I felt the experience was a lot like building apps using Microsoft's
ASP.NET model. I've done quite a bit of work with Ruby on Rails, and
my guess is that ErlyWeb would be a lot more like Rails development.

My reason for choosing Erlang as the language was for the speed and
scalability - my Web app was built to drive performance tests, and it
was FAR more scalable than anything else I've used. I'll keep using
Erlang for this purpose when the need arises.

I know MochiWeb exists as another Erlang Web framework, but I haven't
used it yet. There is a new video that covers building a simple Web
app using MochiWeb, but I don't have the URL handy. Google for
Mochiweb, Erlang, and Webcast and you should be able to track it down.

Regards

Dave M.

I'm not much on screencasts (I know how to type, no need for a video),
so I'll skip that, and between ErlyWeb, MochiWeb, and Nitrogen, I've
got quite a bit to look at now. Thanks for the info!

If you have time and the inclination do you mind posting a summary or
comparison of the frameworks you find? It would be interesting to know
what each framework is suitable for and when you'd use one over another.

Thomas,

There's also a RESTful wrapper for mochiweb called "webmachine" that
you may wish to look at

Hi All,

Perhaps good to know that Apache CouchDB is running on top of a fork of mochiweb, where CouchDB offers only a RESTful API. Check the sources of couchdb. It's quite nicely done I have to say.
