reel

🖭 restore app state, for demos and development 🖭

motivation

If you provide demo sites for an application, you might have a cron job setup to periodically restore the application's state to some default. This allows prospects to try out your service by making changes and then reset to a default state.

• reel aims to:

  • Restore an application's database state to a configurable default.

  • Restore an application to a preset configuration.

  • Provide a web interface for interactive resets for use with vagrant.

  • Define configuration reset points.

  • Provide per-instance configuration proxy,

    e.g. https://app.biz/demos//

    Which is unique to a prospect, has a unique database backed instance of an application

• Area of focus:

  • Demos and development.
  • Light-weight reverse proxy to app instances tied to prospects.
