From: Diego Bernardes Date: 2010-05-29T04:21:33+09:00 Subject: Reusable Applications - Architecture Question Some times i ask my self about reusable applications, ive build several rails/.net applications where it need a ticket system, forum and wiki. All the time i copy and paste the code. Now we have the Rails 3 with Pluggable Applications (well i could use Rails Engines later, but... nevermind :P ). Most of the aplications i develop stay in my server, i take care if the app is running or not, if is slow, if needs update and so. What its a better idea in your opnion, make plugins/pluggable applications or stick to something like SOA/Google services. Every application in Google have a web api, this can be done to my applications too, api to blog, forum, tickets.. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
