Yep. Awful food. Not, "awful Indian food". Awful by any standard.
I don't think the founders had any experience with food before doing Tava.

There's a VC funded Indian burrito joint in Palo Alto. I've eaten lunch there three times, once with a potential investor.
Food's terrible to boot.

There's a CMS, for starters.

Noir is deprecated, use vanilla ring + libnoir or Luminus.

Would be great if not for the CPS. I end up doing something similar except with Clojure instead of Node.js for my projects lately.

Take a look at Luminus.

Recently left Heroku, too many failures. The last week I had my app on Heroku availability was in the realm of ~60-80%.
Between that and the obscenely slow and overpriced Postgres...nope.
(Clojure user, I don't think Heroku's platform plays nice with things that take a bit to fire up. Or the JVM in general.)

Carthago delenda est: when are you re-releasing the software you yanked from your Github?

Are you going to re-release the stuff you yanked off your github?

CL is Common Lisp.
The go-to for Clojure is Luminus, which is less of a framework and more of a "web best practices" project template.

Just use http://serverbear.com/ and be liberated from blog spam like this.

They're not saturated yet.
DO's CPU performance has generally been worse than Linode's in benchmarks and that was before the recent Linode upgrade so they're probably even further behind now.
It's not that DO is good, it's that SoftLayer is terrible. Don't use SoftLayer as a benchmark for anything but wasting your money.
Also these kinds of blog posts are a waste of time.

Then this is even sillier, SoftLayer non-dedi is pointless, they're notorious for being overpriced as a brand.

It's not as good as Python yet but rapidly getting better.
There's an excellent SQL abstraction library (Korma), Ring makes for a nice WSGI equivalent, Compojure and Clabango combined give you a Flask'ish experience, and there are a goodly number of Forms and validation libraries.
Some like to use CLJS on the frontend. There are libraries out there for making that nice.
I usually use vanilla jQuery or Angular on the frontend, no CLJS.
You need get more specific with your queries, I'm not going to write a novel at the merest hint.

I use DigitalOcean but this is silly.
1. SoftLayer is well known for being over-priced.
2. They have a startup program you can use to get like $10k in credits.
3. DigitalOcean isn't anywhere near saturated. Remember the golden days of EC2? It'll quickly deteriorate.
4. You don't use dedis exclusively for the "bang per buck", you use them for the peace of mind and knowing your I/O isn't going to plummet by 3/4s because a new subscriber landed on your node, thereby fucking your database to hell.
5. I want dedis from DigitalOcean.
6. Don't use multi-cast ElasticSearch clusters on DigitalOcean.
