Modulus
LLC, a Progress company and a leading provider of Node.js hosting
and MongoDB, today announced that it is has released a new set of
add-ons as part of its add-on marketplace. The marketplace is designed
to make it easy for Node.js developers to build new functionality into
their applications quickly.
One of the benefits of working with Modulus is that any customer can
become an add-on provider through their Modulus account and the Add-On
Provider Portal. There are five different add-ons now available from
Modulus partners Keen IO, SendGrid, Iron IO, and MongoDB.
Partners
SendGrid
is a cloud-based email service that gives businesses a cost efficient
and simple way to send email. It provides reliable delivery, as well as
scalability and real-time analytics to measure user engagement with the
emails you send. It also uses flexible APIs to help make custom
integration run smoothly.
SendGrid provided an add-on that delivers emails on behalf of companies
that will help to increase deliverability and improve customer
communications. Any integration with new or existing email systems is
done through a SMTP or a REST API, SendGrid has a Node.js package that
is open source and available on Github.
Keen.io
collects and stores large amounts of event data. For example, it can
take data from any occurrence or interaction that happens in an app
throughout the day and store that data in a cloud database. Once stored
in the cloud, the data can then be accessed and analyzed using queries
that visualize it.
Keen IO provided an add-on that enables customers to track any event,
including signups, upgrades, purchases, etc. and automatically ingest
any new events and customers. There is an added query API, a large
scalable event database, as well as analytics for customers. Customers
can build an analytics tab right into an app with the Keen IO add-in and
also extract data easily.
Iron.io
is an application infrastructure as a service provider (IaaS) that gives
immediate access to high-scale message queries, which allows customers
to go from development to production very quickly. By doing so, it helps
avoid any single points of failure, all while improving scale and the
ability to utilize a dependable messaging system.
Iron IO added two new add-ons. The first is IRONWORKER which is a highly
available and scalable task queue/ worker service that provides
customers with workers at scale, painless setup, distributed processing,
highly concurrent processing, a hosted environment and 23/7 chat
support. Their other add-on is IRONMQ, which is a highly available
elastic message queuing service that provides customers with: Instant
and elastic message queuing, messaging at scale, a durable and secure
service, the ability to use a language of their choice and 23/7 chat
support.
MongoDB
is an open-source document database and the leading NoSQL database.
Written in C++, it provides many beneficial features, such as giving
enterprise class support through training and consulting, storing files
of any size without complicating your stack, scaling horizontally
without compromising functionality, among others.
MongoDB is a Modulus add-on for creating and associating MongoDB
Databases with your project.
Add-Ons
The new add-ons are now available for Modulus customers to use
immediately.
