 Okay we're back in San Francisco to end the day at Node Summit, Node.js. This is the inaugural conference for the Node trend, Node.js. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE.com. This is theCUBE, our flagship telecast. We go out to the events, broadcast the knowledge and share that with you. And you can find the coverage on SiliconANGLE.tv or come to SiliconANGLE.com every day. The reference point for tech innovation. Big news here this week. SiliconANGLE.com is launching DevOps Angle, starting tomorrow or the next day, whenever we get it live. And we just secured diamond sponsorship from Dell Computer. So we are excited to let you know that we'll be bringing you that coverage day to day like a blanket in the vertical of DevOps or OpsDev or Cloud Developer, whatever you want to call it, we're going to be covering like a blanket. So we're going to end the day here with a wrap up about what we saw and our observations and we're going to come back tomorrow morning at nine o'clock for the Node Jam, which is the startup section, where we're going to go kind of open mic and have people just come in, talk about what they're working on. So tomorrow is the big developer day, kind of in the trenches, early stage entrepreneurs. So come by and make sure you come by tomorrow if you want to check out the startups. With me to end the day is Clint Finley, the managing editor for our DevOps Angle. Also lead writer for servicesangle.com or other publication. Clint, I saw a lot of conversations today around real time, mobility, big data kind of weaved into the conversation. We saw a great demo from Brass Monkey around controller to game. All this stuff is leveraging some of these new trends. So what's your take on the Node JS movement and the inaugural show? Well, it's interesting to see how many different things it's being used for. But like you said, real time is a big buzzword here. And Brass Monkey has definitely made a strong showing here. The panel that Brass Monkey was a part of earlier, the machine to machine panel, that was one of the most anticipated panels of the day. And that was one that really drew a lot of attention. And it's a theme that keeps coming up that Node is actually really, really good for machine to machine communication. So with Brass Monkey, they're using mobile devices as game controllers for games that are in the browser, which is a really cool idea. But it could be, so there's that at the consumer level, but there's all sorts of deployment and monitoring and that sort of stuff being done with Node JS. I wrote an article on servicesangle.com last week about how Node JS is really popular for DevOps. And the reason why is that asynchronous architecture of it. You broke also the story about the All-Star Node developers forming their own consultant firm, what was that called? The Node firm, and yeah, we'll have a couple of founding partners on tomorrow afternoon on theCUBE. But yeah, what they've done is since they're, it's so hard to find Node JS talent right now. People who have much experience with it are already fully employed. So a bunch of guys who, they already have either their own jobs or their own startups have started a mini consulting firm. Well, they'll do consulting engagements that are of like a day or less to provide software architecture and scaling advice to, more to startups than to probably to big companies. That's a good point about the skill sets out there. For all you folks out there thinking about developing on Rails or whatever, Python. If you're looking for a job, Node is a great way to go. It's got some real benefits with HTTP and web-based stuff. The other big news here is that we heard our friend Dr. Lucky Spin, Todd P, we call him, launching Continuity with funding announcement coming later in the week. So the market's robust, I would categorize this as a category four hurricane if you will in terms of storm. I would give it essentially a lot of velocity, a lot of movement, not yet a hurricane five because it's not fully, the production's points aren't there. We see some cases with LinkedIn and whatnot. Obviously the big vendors are coming in and talking about it. We got, we're seeing Microsoft here. We just interviewed Jay Shree from Arista Networks. Obviously there's a constituency in this new architecture of vendors that believe. Walmart is using it for some of their Walmart labs, mobile apps. Yeah, so this isn't like the old credit card days testing stuff on Amazon. You got real companies moving the needle in terms of real deployment. So given all that, but we heard Steve Herron, we heard a bunch of developer, other communities, CouchDB for Java, the big vendors. So because of that, I gave it a category four. It's just, it's risen so fast, Node.js in such a short time to relevance. It's quite astounding. You mean, what do you think? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, about a year ago I was asking Tom Hughes Croucher, who's the author of Up and Running with Node.js, who's using Node.js in the enterprise and he said not really anyone doing that except unless you count HP was using it for WebOS for synchronizing structured data, which is, again, it's a machine to machine application. But now, there's LinkedIn, there's Walmart. There's just probably at least a dozen enterprises here at Node Summit this week talking about how they're using Node.js in production for real applications. What other observations, Clint, have you seen out there? You were out there in the hallways, you were in the sessions, you attended most of the sessions. What was some of the things, just observations that you saw that you want to share with us? Well, it seems like the buzzword of the day is polyglot and that kind of ties back to the platforms of service stuff that we've been covering a lot. What does that mean? The polyglot program basically means someone who programs in more than one language and the big trend is developers aren't just using one language anymore, it's you're not just a Java developer or a C developer, a C++ developer. Now, it's increasingly common that a developer who's building an application, they'll use Ruby on Rails for some big part of it and then they'll pull out Node.js to do some machine to machine stuff. And then maybe on the front end, for the UI, they're using something else entirely. So it's definitely changing in that area. People are using more than one database. There's a whole NoSQL movement, so it's not that transactional databases are going away or the old relational databases going away, it's that things like Redis that provide the short-term memory caching, that's very useful, so people are using that in addition to Postgres or MySQL or whatever else they might use. Have you seen any Scuttlebut on Twitter around kind of the naysayers of Node.js? Is there any commentary coming in off the web in terms of Node is bullshit? Are you hearing anything about that? Or is it pretty much Node's great, but it needs work or it's great and it's good? At this event, what I've been seeing lately is that people are just so positive about Node here that any of the naysaying is probably getting drowned out. But over the past year, Node has definitely had its detractors and there have been some public instances of people scrapping code that they did in Node and switching over to something else like Erlang or doing it with, I believe it's called Neti, which is a Java framework for doing asynchronous callbacks. And then, yeah, some of the answers to that. But one thing is apparently it's pretty difficult to manage multiple threading with Node.js but there are solutions coming out that help people with that. So it seems mostly that the education isn't necessarily all there yet. And that's part of what groups like the Node firm are all about is there's a handful of people in the world who are really, really experienced with Node.js and they need to share that knowledge so everybody else can get over some of those stumbling blocks like threading. And we're here live in San Francisco, where all the action's happening in the developer community. A lot of things happening here that will have ripple effects throughout IT and the development communities across the world and Node Summit really kind of, and it's an inaugural event and in my opinion, it's been a big success. I'll see the whole developer category here is a four in my mind in terms of a hurricane status. I want to put it that way. Exciting, we're going to hear from startups tomorrow. And I guess the final question, Clint, for you is has there any been any exciting startups that you've seen say, wow, I never knew those guys were around or are you pretty much on top of all the companies here? Oh, I hadn't heard of Boxmap or Mapbox. I'm sorry, it's one or the other. I think it's Mapbox. Yeah, and we interviewed them today and they're really interesting. I'd never heard of them. They're using Node.js and CouchDB to create an open alternative to Google Maps. Yeah, exciting for free and then they make money on other places. But great, okay. Well, that's going to be a wrap for today at Node Summit. We want to thank Dell computer for stepping up today and being our diamond sponsor for our new vertical DevOps angle. Come to siliconangle.com, siliconangle.tv. Dot TV is where you'll find all these videos from today. We'll have them curated and clipped up there for your pleasure and look for DevOps angle. And if you're interested, contact me, John Furrier at gmail.com and or Clint who's going to be managing editor of that publication. So look forward to seeing you tomorrow and have a great night.
