Guy’s talk
Running Tasks with PlayMaking deployments easier
Play is good for a bunch of reasons• Scala
• Fast
• Scalable
• Easy to be productive
• More
• Buzzwords
• Here
That’s why we’re all here
Akka is your best friend
If you’re building tools to run tasks then Akka makes loads of things easier
Play makes it easy to create a complex, asynchronous, actor system, and put a good web UI on top
This comes in handy when you’re building tools for people, not services for machines
Sankai
Sankai is the tool we built for deploying the Moshi Monsters flash
It serves three main functions
• Managing the dependencies of the flash bundle
• Running the deployment scripts
• Keeping logs of script output and deployed dependencies
A simpler example
Sankai is quite large and a bit crufty, so I wrote a smaller example
All the code is up on github
