koding-spark

Sample application to use in koding.

This is a HelloWorld javaspark sample application. to demonstrate running a simple Java application on Koding.com VMs. In the low resource environment like the VMs in koding(1GB Ram, 1Core, 3GB Disk), being light is so important so instead of running a full feature web containers/framework like Tomcat or Spring. going with spark and guice make the life and of course your application easier.

Spark is a simple and lightweight Java web framework built for rapid development.(Note: Spark is not Apache Spark)
