Beyond REST? Building Data Services with XMPP PubSub


Kellan and I gave a talk today at OSCON about some ideas we’ve been playing with around how to make web services work as things keep getting bigger and faster. Apparently it was well received.

UPDATE: There’s a great write up by Robert Kaye about the talk by on O’Reilly Radar and Joshua Schachter confirmed similar use / abuse pattern for delicious.

  1. Awesome presentation, Evan. Shame I wasn’t able to fly over for OSCON. We’ve been toying with a few of these ideas (XMPP + pubsub) around here. We’re probably going to make some stuff opensource soonish.

    Cheers!

    (oh, and I don’t know why but Slideshare doesn’t let me download the presentation. Any chance you can email me the pdf? Thanks!)

  2. Ignore the last bit on my previous comment – Slideshare was acting up for a bit. I managed to download the pdf already ;-)

    Hi,

    I noticed a tweet on your twitter account that you successfully managed to set up Reddit’s open source code. I’ve been looking for a programmer that can help me set it up since they released the code with no luck.

    If you would be interested in helping me (I’ll pay you for your time) please email.

    Many thanks,

    Chris

  4. This is a great presentation and idea.

    I wrote up some additional thoughts on some related pubsub techniques as well: http://joshua.schachter.org/2008/07/beyond-rest.html
