Low Friction Development
summary
Company beadapond moves from lampstack to end-to-end JavaScript, building a tiny framework on node.js + jQuery with a thin NoSQL driver, JSON controllers, static client views and baked in unit and acceptance tests. The claim is concrete: fewer languages, reduced languages from five to three, faster development for many short lived social apps, simpler deployment, handled sharp traffic spikes and lower operational cost with no server side templating.
