[9fans] Web Gardens

[9fans] Web Gardens

[Andrew Simmons]

As a diversion from the discussion of the existential essence of Javascript, could I ask the group for a view on the meaning of the term "Web Garden"? I was just asked about this in a job interview. Supplementary question - how would you implement a Web Garden in Plan9?

if it's the term used by IIS, i think it refers to how a server
handles web requests: (a) one process handling all requests -- i.e.
in a select() loop -- or (b) a process pool, with each process
handling one request.  the latter is a "web garden" model.

plan9's httpd starts a proc for each new request.

I thought a web garden was a hobbyist version of a server farm.

I had never heard this term before, but this is perfect. Well done.

This is a concept that has developed in the Windows world because a lot
of the .net web server tech tends to share state per-process.  In order
to have multiple backend processes running on a single server you
generally have to play games with information sharing between processes.
It's just another reason web services on Windows can be such a pain in
the ass.

We've found it easier to hire more web sharecroppers when yields aren't
sufficient.

Thanks to all for the excellent and occasionally informative suggestions. I don’t think there’s any risk of my being offered the job, but I wish I’d had the concepts of “web allotment” and “web sharecropper” to hand during the interview.

How do you call isolated ecosystems put up by the big players
(Facebook, Tweeter and such) that hold all the data within and disallow
linking to that data from the outside? I seem to remember "Web Garden"
was used, but it could also be a "Walled Garden"..

Next thing we know someone will produce a Grey Gardens fork of Plan 9.

Now that I said it, it’s likely the GPL version is the Plan 9 Grey Gardens tree.

To be honest, I didn’t understand the “Grey Gardens” reference until I used
this new “Google” thing that Erik recommends. Were I not scared of being
called silly by Skip, I would recommend merging this exciting new potential
fork of Plan9 into the forthcoming "Great British Code Off" fork of Plan9,
of which I am the sole proprietor. But I won’t do that. Instead, I will
just say "On your marks, get set, Code!".
