Resin

Key features:

• Cloud Support:
  • Deployment: Based on Caucho's own internal .git implementation for reliable, transactional, and incremental updates to existing and new cluster members.
  • Elasticity: Single command can add or remove elastic cluster members.
  • Management: Comprehensive browser, command-line and JMX management capability is available across the cloud from any member.
  • Reliability: Cluster data is triple-replicated for high availability and redundancy.
    
    
• JAMM (Java Application Monitoring and Management):
  • Non-stop Resin: Independent Watchdog process monitors the responsiveness of a users application.
  • Rule-based Health Checks: Customisabl health checks, conditions and actions that are triggered when server health is in question.
  • Real-time GUI: Real-time access to JMX, cluster topology, network connections, threads, memory, heap-dumps, thread-dumps, on-demand profiling and PDF reports.
    
    
• Configuration and Control Simplications for Cloud Deployment:
  • resin.properties: Separate properties file for easier access.
  • : Element specifically designed to work with resin.properties allowing multiple server definitions by a single property.
  • start-all: CLI command that starts up all Resin servers on the host by matching local network addresses to configured server definitions.
  • resinctl: A startup script that is custom configured for the local environment during install.
    
    
• Performance Improvements:
  • File Serving: Faster and more efficient with oeprating system sendfile() and TCP_CORK support.
  • Thread Pool: Lower overall thread use.
    
    
• Distributed Caching Interfaces and Other New Features:
  • RPM Dsitribution: RPMs are available for Resin Pro in addition to prior DEB, zip, and tar.gz formats.
  • Anomaly Analysis: Checking meter value for deviations from the average value so unusual changes can be detected.
  • REST Adminstration: Available for integration with 3rd party management tools.
  • WebSocket: Implentation passes the protocol tests for the final WebSockets RFC.
