Rapture announced at Scala eXchange

London, 15th June 2011

Propensive CEO Jon Pretty made an important announcement at the Scala eXchange in London today, to fire the starting gun for the release of Rapture, a revolutionary new platform as a service (PaaS) for Scala to make deploying and running Scala applications on the Cloud easier than ever before.

After talking through the the motivation behind the development of Rapture, and the huge advantages it can bring to Scala developers working on the Internet, Jon gave a teaser of Rapture's capabilities by demonstrating the ease of creating a website running on Rapture: In the space of little more than five minutes, he coded, compiled and deployed a simple web application to the Cloud, available on its own domain name.

A video of the presentation and demonstration is available on the SkillsMatter website.
