[netty-dev] Looking for testimonials for 3.0.0.GA

[Frederic Bregier]

Hi Trustin,
even if both projects are not ready for production, here what I can write on them and on Netty.

First project is about to interface web services with a storage container managed by a proprietary
software. Currently, this proprietary software is using CORBA as a black box with almost no control 
on its behaviour or debug. So we wrote a replacement using Netty using a new protocol,
with serialization of object.
Using Netty was easy since we can quiclky get the first part running without any trouble
and having a clean protocol written using the pipeline feature and some business handler
attached on it. We particularly appreciate the speed up of performance using serialization,
which is an ease of developement for us instead of "binary" protocol. Also we can focus
on "business" part more easier. I would say that I spent 5 days on implementing the kernel
of the network layout, and 15 days for the business part.

Second project, the older one but still not finished, is OpenR66 which is a file transfer monitor
that mimics in its principles the behaviour of a proprietary one.
Here the business logic is more complex since we have to implement some rules, authentification,
using ssl too, and using a database support for keeping a trace of transfers.
Using Netty was the most simplest part since, once we wrote our network handler using a
private business handler, getting more and more functions was just as easy as to write a
new class attached to a type of message. Again, with a ratio of 1 for 3 days respectively
1 for the network layout with Netty and 3 for the business part.
Now, we are currently working on the business part (database and rules) that are a bit more complex
and so we can since Netty allows us to focus on business and less on network.
Also we like the way we can easily try to keep threads low and memory footprint low too.
Preventing OOM was one reason to use such framework.
The ease of pipeline, once used to,  allows quick implementation on network interface.

Keep this good work !!!
As an end user, I would like to thank you!!!

Frederic

  Hi folks, 

  If you are using Netty for your project and satisfied with Netty 
  comparing to other alternatives or competitive technologies, please let 
  me know.  I'd like to post your testimonial to the Netty web site. 

  A single paragraph, which describes what your project is about and 
  highlights the strength of Netty, would be great.  Please feel free to 
  reply to this message or e-mail me privately. 

  Thanks in advance, 
  Trustin
