History of Server-Side Development Before delving into the ins and outs of what Appirator is, it is important to understand the history of server-side computing. Back in the 90s, businesses either had to create their own data centres or rent space in them using their own purchased or rented physical servers. These machines were very expensive to purchase and required specialist operations staff to set them up and maintain them. The environments that these machines were configured into were static and consequently needed to accommodate traffic and storage volumes well in excess of the average daily peak.
Overview Appirator applications are made from a mix of resource class definitions, events and their associated handlers. Each class can have its own configuration, can have properties that are primitive or are complex, using other class definitions. Classes additionally have methods, event handlers, migrations, access rules, validation, modifiers and more. Resource classes are very powerful in their own right and there is essentially no limit to what can be done with them and how complex applications and APIs can be built using them.
