I have been coding a Node.js / MongoDB based blogging system over the past few weeks. Basically this is a high performance, horizontally scalable WordPress competitor. Benefits: Node.js - Event Based, high performance web+application host. Having both the web server and application in the same language lets the application have absolute control over how the system works. MongoDB - MongoDB is at the forefront of the NoSQL race. Its extreme performance and high scalability has been gaining tons of traction in the web world. GridFS - By storing uploads in Mongo's GridFS storage system, there is no limitation to file size, or server scalability. The ability to easily shard your application across servers gives your storage system infinite possibilities of storage. In RAM caching - Caching can save servers, so I have coded in ram caching of parsed pages based on variables set by the configuration. High Performance - With the ability to serve up to 5,000 requests per second compared to base install of wordpress at 350 requests per second, the performance aspect of the system is astonishing. This is a huge advantage and can save lots of hosting dollars. Theming - Ability to install themes and create custom themes to suit your design and functionality needs. Reason for this post: I am looking for people who are interested in helping code this project. It is open source and there is a basic working version as of now. If you are interested, please send me a message.
