Mentez
Joyent and Mentez have partnered to provide scalable, on-demand infrastructure from Joyent to Mentez Facebook developers. Joyent’s Accelerator on-demand infrastructure (peered with Facebook’s datacenter!) provides the very best load balancers, routing and switching fabric, x86 servers and storage. Mentez Facebook developers can take advantage of Joyent Accelerators to quickly launch Facebook applications capable of scaling to millions of users.
What’s Included?
A Joyent Facebook Developer Accelerator includes everything you need to develop and deploy your Facebook application. You get root access to a virtualized machine that includes all the tools for developing Facebook applications in PHP, Rails, Java and Python.
Note: We currently do not support Windows officially. We have put together a program with Mentez to provide Windows support for Mentez Facebook applications requiring the .NET framework. Please visit your Mentez account page if your application requires Windows: http://www.mentez.com/myaccount.
How it works
Sign up (see the orange arrow on the right). If you don’t have a Mentez signup key please go to http://www.mentez.com/myaccount to get one. There’s nothing to pay. All that we ask is that your Facebook application be ‘active and in use’. Any Facebook application sitting on a Joyent Accelerator that is dormant for more than 30 days will be reclaimed.
All we need is some simple information, your Facebook developer key, and your account details will be sent within minutes. You have root access. Within your Joyent Accelerator you’ll find all the libraries you need to develop great Facebook applications in PHP, Rails, Java and Python. However, if we’ve missed something, no worries. You are root. You can add whatever additional tools you need. This is not a shared environment.
You’re going to love your Facebook Accelerator. We’ve seen developers like you do amazing things with this great service. And you?
Support
We have an amazing community surrounding Joyent, and have set up a forum where you can ask questions, pitch ideas and get to know other developers doing cool things. Joyent provides no support for this free service.
