Hi,

My name is Bruno i'been using Smalltalk since 1999 for commercial applications, mostly Dolphin, GemStone/S and Visual Works.

Now we have a commercial project and we are going to use Pharo :)

Great !

So we have some general questions.

1) Which version of Pharo to use in a production deployment 6.1 or 7.0 ?

7.0.1 for sure.

2) We need a local database to Pharo app, which open source database is better to use with Pharo: mysql, postgree or .... In term of packages for Pharo. There is https://guillep.github.io/DBXTalk/ but i do not know if is up to date.

There are multiple options. I think with your background/experience, it comes down mostly to your own preferences. What do you like to use (SQL or not) ? How much assistance do you need (object mapper or not) ? There are also https://github.com/svenvc/P3 (a newer PostgreSQL client). http://books.pharo.org/booklet-Voyage/ (non-SQL) http://books.pharo.org/booklet-Glorp/ (Object Mapper) ...

3) There is any documentation about deployment and maintenance for a Pharo + Seaside app ? I have found "2016-10-06-EnterprisePharo.pdf" but may there are other sources...

Here too, you have many options, depending on style/experience. Like you said: There is https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/EnterprisePharoBook/lastSuccessfu... ? You can also study this https://github.com/svenvc/pharo-server-tools In any case, this is a solved problem (apart from session sharing, but you can get far with session affinity). Please keep on asking questions, so that we can help you with your technology/stack POC. Sven

regards, bruno

Hi Bruno, Is good to see you here as well :) 1) 7.0+. If you're in Windows only 32 bit is supported. 2) For RDBMS forget about DBXTalk and Garage, I would suggest you go straight to the PostgreSQL client (P3) or SQLite. Those are maintained and used, the rest... who knows. If you need ORM you can use Glorp with any of those. 3) As Sven mentioned there are many options, there is people using Docker containers managed by Docker Swarm, so the options are many. But if you use Seaside with stateful sessions (you'll need affinity by session or IP). Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo El mar., 19 feb. 2019 a las 22:27, BrunoBB (<smalltalk@adinet.com.uy>) escribió:
