OpenShift, the future is comming

We have an old application (quinigold) hosted in Tomcat 3.X.
The application is very simple and it is a project final degree, and adminitration football pools. (http://goldbittle.dyndns.org/index.html )

We thought about migration to GAE (Google AppEngine) but we listened to a fantastic podcast from Juan Noceda and JavaHispano.

And them we make a pros-contra


GAE (Google Aplication Engine)

     Pros
         For free according to consumption
         We can take advantage of the whole subject of SingleSignOn google.
         mature technology, documentation and examples
         integrated with eclipse

     Cons
         Proprietary technology with reference to DB
         A subset of Java technology specifications ex: you can not call java.net.URL
         Possible problems with WS, REST technology watch

  OS (OpenShift )

     Pros
         pure java
         what works in linux works openshift
         INTEGRATION with eclipse
         Adding services (mysql, ....)

     Cons
         the price is not clear
         very new technology, some examples
         see the integration
         learn new versioning (GIT)   

Now, is time for change.
We want pure Java (OS+1)
We want integration WebServices (OS+1)
We want free developing and free quota (GAE+1, OS+1)
We want mysql export-import BBDD (OS+1)


The result:  OS win.


The OpensShift is considered the best.
