 What is it?
• Highly available, distributed router and
application management framework
• Designed to handle highly volatile
environments (i.e. the cloud)
• RESTful interface
• Aims to host mutliple protocols
simultaneously
• Designed to scale from the ground-up
• Open-source (of course)

loopback filesystem

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

 Templated application environment
• By looking at the application type,
the bee can be created to match
Bee the application structure
• Application types often need
different environments to run, so
bees are created and distributable
based on their applications

 Only the libs and binaries needed
Including only the necessary
libraries and binaries, the
Bee application image is kept small
and easily shipable container

 Customizable through hooks

Customize the entire process

through hooks and overrides, i.e.:
Bee
start.before: /bin/prepare_start.sh
start: thin -R config.ru start
start.after: notify_started
