Is it only me who wants to know the tech stack of Devrant! 😃

Nginx, PHP 7, Titanium Appcelerator for mobile apps.

And Neo4j for primary data store + elastic search for search

A little more than I thought! Nice! :)

@g-m-f 😂

Clearly not web scale

@dfox Titanium for apps? I was guessing PhoneGap or some other hybrid framework.

@kshep92 I prefer Titanium because you actually get native controls instead of a webview.

@dfox As a long-term PHP and Titanium dev, I approve this tech stack. 😎

@dfox nice!! Can I know what do you use native controls for in devrant?

@zettageek the share dialog is one of the things

@caroso1222 the biggest thing is the listview for almost all the displaying of rants.

@dfox I've encountered neo4j before but never had the guts to go further. Starting with this "rant" i went ahead and tried it. OMFG, literally. I'm a bit familiar with elastic, php did all my life, used Phonegap (not cordova), NoSQL...etc, all in production. But Neo4j really kicks in very nice. I would really love and appreciate a conversation with you!

@akizor awesome, glad you're trying it! I've definitely had fun with it.

If you have any questions about it or need any help, feel free to email me (david@devrant.io)!

@Xilo sure and good question! We use a very basic one that I wrote that simply posts Cypher queries to the REST API. It can take a single Cypher query and execute it or a batch of queries.

If you or anyone else thinks it could be of any value to you, when I get some time I can try to open source it. Though for maximum functionality it might be worth it to look at the existing PHP drivers.

@Xilo awesome! Good luck with it and definitely keep us updated on how it goes! I love hearing about other's experiences using Neo4j.

@dfox, due to this rant, now i'm responsible with a B.I. module integration using neo4j :)). the perks of leadership

@dfox wow! This post has a lot of interaction! What infrastructure do you use for devrant?
