No time to wait http://showmetheco.de/index.rss Just code Twist 0.1 Why I chose to build a Plack framework instead of using Mojolicious http://showmetheco.de/articles/2011/1/why-i-chose-to-build-a-plack-framework-instead-of-using-mojolicious.html I've invested a lot of time in Mojolicious development (a so called "next generation web framework for the Perl programming language"). Of course I didn't commit any revolutionary patches, or affected it's architecture somehow, but I tried to use it in every scenario I could think of, reported bugs, proposed a few feature requests. So why I decided to switch to Plack and build my own web framework?

Today we will consider architecture of http://check-host.net which is built on top of Mojolicious modules.

Redis is a powerful key-value database that allows you to create fast and lightweight applications. You can learn more about using Redis in Perl from other my article http://showmetheco.de/articles/2010/11/mojox-redis-an-asynchronous-redis-implementation-for-mojolicious.html. Building asynchronous applications allows you to avoid using threads, so such applications tends to use less memory and human power to deal with all their complexity.

Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad is a full featured UNIX optimized preforking async io HTTP 1.1 and WebSocket server built around the very well tested and reliable Mojo::Server::Daemon with TLS, Bonjour, epoll, kqueue and hot deployment support that just works.

Some simple way that would allow you to use templates and more advanced stuff? There is already a plugin for that — Mojolicious::Plugin::Mail!

Some of the advantadges of this approach are:

  • You don't have to worry about installing Mojolicious
  • You don't have to worry about non compatible Mojolicious version installed on the production server
  • You always have a Mojolicious version that works with your application
  • Creating a tarball that constains everything can be done by git

One of the disadvantages is that it is not easy to setup, but this post is going to fix that.

When the requested page changes, checksum changes too. In comparing to the last modified date it is well suited for dynamic content. A browser caches the page and on the next request sends the ETag from the previous response. Server checks if the page was changed and sends the updated page or 304 http status.

In Mojolicious this can be implemented with a simple plugin using after_dispatch hook.

But it is currently deprecated since Mojolicious has Mojolicious::Plugin::I18n in its core. Today we will try to use it to create a multilingual website.
