Gemstone as a service?
Hello, I was wondering if anyone offers GaaS? I would love to be able to just focus on writing code, and leave the system management to others. Gemstone does seem to offer a very complete package. Also, does anyone know what's happening with Pharocloud? The site is still running, but it seems to be very quiet. Cheers Andy
GaaS would be a great idea. I think I understood Pharo cloud had closed? I was steered towards Digital Ocean which was really simple to setup and very cheap. Although I think this is all heading towards kuberneties and docker images as the end game. Tim Sent from my iPhone

Will you be coming to ESUG? Perhaps we could discuss this in more detail after my talk on Wednesday at 12:30 (https://esug.github.io/2018-Conference/conf2018.html <https://esug.github.io/2018-Conference/conf2018.html>). James Foster

This would be of general interest ... I suppose Marten Am 19.08.2018 um 05:15 schrieb James Foster:

Iâm certainly hoping so! From the schedule: A Browser-based IDE for Cloud-hosted GemStone When Wed, September 12, 12:30pm â 12:45pm Description James Foster Polito While Smalltalk has been an innovator in many ways, hosted development tools has not been a notable area of leadership. Smalltalkâs ecosystem tends to have a more challenging install process (particularly for GemStone) and this may limit its ability to attract attention. Tools like Cloud9 and Jupyter make it very easy to experiment with C++ or Python using just a web browser. In this presentation we look at an approach to using GemStone in the cloud with only a web browser. James Foster P.S. Iâm not sure how âPolitioâ got added to my name in the ESUG schedule, but https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Polito <https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Polito>, gives the following definition: "A sweet, innocent guy at heart. Not afraid to express himself. Full of prosperity <https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=prosperity> and talent, loving every moment he gets from pleasing a crowd. A carefree character that has a clear feminine side. Stands out from the crowd and always has something to share and someone to share it with. Moves on quickly through life and is admired by many, but hurts people with comments that may seem very simple to him. Naive at times, Linguistic <https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Linguistic>, cheerful, honest, smiley, juvenile <https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=juvenile>, good-looking, confident, funny, talented.... this list could go on forever ;) "

My ESUG presentation (based on recent screencasts at https://www.youtube.com/user/JamesGFoster/videos <https://www.youtube.com/user/JamesGFoster/videos>) culminated with a live hands-on opportunity for people to connect to a cloud-hosted GemStone/S 64 Bit 3.4.2 server. As I expected, the question came up of future prospects for a real GaaS offering. So far Iâm not aware of anyone with official plans in this space, but Iâm personally interested in exploring the idea. Two questions arise from the point-of-view of any potential provider: (1) what is the demand; and (2) what would it look like from an operational perspective. So, in order to better answer those questions Iâd like to get in touch with people who would like to try out a GaaS solution. If I provide a dev/test environment for 45 days, will you will give me feedback? If you are interested, please respond privately with (a) your GemStone/S version (preferably 3.4.2), (b) the size of your repository (preferable less than 32 GB, ideally 8 GB or less), (c) what client IDE you use to interact with GemStone, and (d) a sorted list of preferred/acceptable server locations (from Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, New York, San Francisco, and Toronto). Thanks! James
