Experimental website online
I've brought online a new python-based experimental business directory and local coupons website working with some friends. The database is mostly empty now, but it does contain data for some of
Palo Alto, CA, San Francisco, CA, Renton, WA, Chicago, IL, Fairhope, AL, Germantown, TN, and Dallas, TX.
This site is using technologies like:
- squid for reverse proxy caching
- pound for load balancing
- cherrypy is the python-based web application server
- cheetah provides the python-based XHTML page template generation
- sqlobject is the python-based database Object-Relational Mapper
- postgresql handles the database duties
- lighttpd handles the front end web interface
all on linux. In other words, it's all free software. Pretty amazing stuff all around.
