kyleRoche - Kyle, I was chatting with Gordon (WindRiver) the other day about various technical topics and he pointed me to Isdorey — very intriguing idea and it looks like a sound foundation using MQtt and Cassandra. Not necessarily appropriate for my project as I am storing large CCTV-like imagery captured by edge devices and then sorting through them, probably using RIAK. But anyway, I was wondering if you had looked at Joyent with a node.js front-end to manage your message traffic?

Hi Milo, we are big fans of node.js. We have a toolkit for accessing the APIs from node. It’s on github. However, for real-time publishing of messages the platform supports both Ajax long polling and Web Sockets as well as MQtt subscriptions. Lots of web socket examples coming very soon ;) to github.

We are doing some interesting things w/ images. We’re currently working on a lot of Augmented Reality use cases for the platform. I’d love to learn more about what you’re doing when you have time.

Thanks for reaching out!
