<h2 id="sec3" class="section">MAD: Erlang Containers</h2><!--SEC END --> | ||
<!--TOC subsection id="sec4" Purpose--> | ||
<h3 id="sec4" class="subsection">Purpose</h3><!--SEC END --><p> | ||
We were trying to make something minimalistic that fits out <a href="https://github.com/synrc">application stack</a>. | ||
The main idea of mad is to provide clean and simple rebar-like fast dependency manager that | ||
is able to build several types of packages and provides interface of containered deployments | ||
to virtualiezed environments.</p> | ||
<!--TOC subsection id="sec5" Several Types of Packaging--> | ||
<h3 id="sec5" class="subsection">Several Types of Packaging</h3><!--SEC END --><p> | ||
The key feature of mad is ability to create single-file bundled web sites. | ||
This target escript is ready to run on Windows, Linux and Mac.</p> | ||
<!--TOC subsection id="sec6" Deployment Options--> | ||
<h3 id="sec6" class="subsection">Deployment Options</h3><!--SEC END --><p> | ||
As a deploy tool mad is also supposed to launch, start, stop and manage containers, locally or remote. | ||
You can make containers from different type of packages, like making runc container with beam release.</p> | ||
<!--TOC subsection id="sec7" OTP Compliant--> | ||
<h3 id="sec7" class="subsection">OTP Compliant</h3><!--SEC END --><p> | ||
Mad supports ERTS boot files generation with systools and erlang application format used by OTP. | ||
This is the main format of application repository. Also boot files are suported on both LING and BEAM.</p> | ||
<!--TOC subsection id="sec8" Tiny Size--> | ||
<h3 id="sec8" class="subsection">Tiny Size</h3><!--SEC END --><p> | ||
And the good part:</p><div class="lstlisting"> Sources Binary | ||

rebar 7717 LOC 181 KB</div> | ||
<!--TOC subsection id="sec9" History--> | ||
<h3 id="sec9" class="subsection">History</h3><!--SEC END --><p>We came to conclusion that no matter how perfect your libraries are, | ||
the comfort and ease come mostly from developing tools. | ||
Everything got started when <a href="https://github.com/proger">Vladimir Kirillov</a> decided to | ||
replace Rusty’s sync beam reloader. As you know sync uses | ||
filesystem polling which is neither energy-efficient nor elegant. Also | ||
sync is only able to recompile separate modules while | ||
common use-case in N2O is to recompile DTL templates | ||
and LESS/SCSS stylesheets. That is why we need to recompile | ||
the whole project. That’s the story how <a href="https://github.com/synrc/active">active</a> emerged. | ||
Under the hood active is a client subscriber | ||
of <a href="https://github.com/synrc/fs">fs</a> library, native filesystem listener for Linux, Windows and Mac.</p><p>De-facto standard in Erlang world is rebar. | ||
We love rebar interface despite its implementation. | ||
First we plugged rebar into active and then decided to drop its support, | ||
it was slow, especially in cold recompilation. | ||
It was designed to be a stand-alone tool, so it has some | ||
glitches while using as embedded library. | ||
Later we switched to Makefile-based build tool <a href="https://github.com/synrc/otp.mk">otp.mk</a>.</p><p>The idea to build rebar replacement was up in the air for a long time. | ||
The best minimal approach was picked up by <a href="https://github.com/s1n4">Sina Samavati</a>, | ||
who implemented the first prototype called ’mad’. Initially mad | ||
was able to compile DTL templates, YECC files, escript (like | ||
bundled in gproc), also it had support for caching with side-effects. | ||
In a month I forked mad and took over the development under the same name.</p><div class="center">Listing 1: Example of building N2O sample</div><p><br> | ||

<h2><a name="testimonials"><b>About MAD</b></a></h2><blockquote>At the beginning, Mad was supposed to be only a Rebar-compatible dependency manager, after a while, | ||
I realized compiling applications as fast as possible with it could be a fascinating work as well. | ||
