Project
A set of open source services and a discipline
Technology
Ruby, Sinatra, Coffeescript
Website
Used
In several production applications
Initiated
2011
Rationale
After working for a few years on a monolithic application we wanted our services to be reusable, composable and shareable across all our applications. They should be as easy to access from a daemon as from client side script. They should have standardized auth and security — and finally: the services that make up our applications should also actually be the public api. The web app should just be one of the api-consuming clients, not privileged in any way compared to an iPhone or Android native client.
We call services that adhere to this informal standard pebbles.
