Chicago Boss is a Rails-inspired MVC web framework written in Erlang, featuring Django-style templates, an ORM, sessions, routing, email, JSON generation, and Comet/WebSocket support. It leverages Erlang's asynchronous I/O to handle high traffic with low RAM and CPU usage.
Use cases
- build a high-traffic website in Erlang
- rails-like mvc framework for erlang
- server-side templating with django-style templates
- real-time comet long-poll endpoints
- web app with orm and sessions in erlang
- low-memory web server for many concurrent users
When to choose
- you want a batteries-included MVC framework on the Erlang platform
- you need asynchronous I/O with Comet, WebSocket, or long-poll support
- you want low RAM/CPU footprint and hot code upgrades
When to avoid
- you need a framework with a large active community and modern ecosystem
- your team is not comfortable with Erlang/Elixir functional programming
- you require recent framework features or frequent updates
