Folksr technology stack

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

I thought it may be a good time to talk a bit about the technology Folksr runs atop.

Our server platform is a dedicated Celeron D 1.33GHz box with half gig of RAM. It runs the fantastic operating system Ubuntu 8.10. Web pages are being served by Apache 2 and our database engine is the marvelous PostgreSQL. Folksr itself is written in PHP 5 with use of custom lightweight MVC framework.

Whether our technology choices are right or wrong we will find soon. For now it is great that they all have one thing in common – CAN DELIVER! All software is Free Software and we are very grateful to FLOSS community for donating their time and effort to get us the best tools available. Without them there would not be us, so thanks!
