Bungee Connect Platform-as-a-Service Extends Database Programmability with EnterpriseDB's Postgres Plus Product Family.Bungee Connect Gives Organizations Data Hosting Flexibility and Portability SALT LAKE CITY -- Bungee Labs [TM] (www.bungeelabs.com) today announced that web application developers can now use Bungee Connect Platform-as-a-Service(PaaS) to develop and host database-driven applications utilizing core PostgreSQL functionality and EnterpriseDB's Postgres Plus database product family. Developers of Bungee-powered applications can connect to existing and new Postgres databases in a cloud-based development and hosting environment See hosted environment. , providing organizations the flexibility to control how and where business data is stored. "Bungee Connect's seamless, cloud-based connectivity with the EnterpriseDB family of PostgreSQL database servers provides data hosting flexibility and portability to organizations creating highly interactive data-driven apps," said Brad Hintze, director product marketing, Bungee Labs. "Developers can leverage Postgres Plus to create high performance, scalable databases for use in Bungee-powered applications without the complexity of assembling and managing all of the software and infrastructure required to develop and deliver web applications." Benefits of Postgres Plus to Bungee Connect Developers Developers of Bungee-powered applications can now program using PostgreSQL functionality and benefit from Postgres Plus features, including Geospatial Geospatial is a term widely used to describe the combination of spatial software and analytical methods with terrestrial or geographic datasets. The term is often used in conjunction with geographic information systems and geomatics. , GridSQL Parallel Query, Oracle Compatibility and Replication. These capabilities enable highly efficient and scalable database applications based on Postgres Plus. Additionally, EnterpriseDB provides its customers with powerful capabilities for setup See BIOS setup and install program. , administration, testing, debugging (programming) debugging - The process of attempting to determine the cause of the symptoms of malfunctions in a program or other system. These symptoms may be detected during testing or use by real users. and management of the family of Postgres Plus database servers. These include Postgres Studio for administration, Procedural Language A programming language that requires programming discipline, such as C/C++, Java, COBOL, FORTRAN, Perl and JavaScript. Also called an "imperative language," programmers writing in such languages must develop a proper order of actions in order to solve the problem, based on a knowledge of Debugger Software that helps a programmer debug a program by stopping at certain breakpoints and displaying various programming elements. The programmer can step through source code statements one at a time while the corresponding machine instructions are being executed. to test/debug, DBA Management Server and Migration Studio for database migration optimization optimization Field of applied mathematics whose principles and methods are used to solve quantitative problems in disciplines including physics, biology, engineering, and economics. to the Postgres Plus Advanced Server. Benefits of Bungee Connect to PostgreSQL Application Developers The Bungee Connect PaaS provides a comprehensive development and hosting environment for applications accessing multiple web services (1) Loosely, any online service delivered over the Web. Such usage appears in articles from non-technical sources, but not in IT-oriented publications, because definition #2 below describes the correct use of the term. and databases, now including PostgreSQL and Postgres Plus. The Bungee Connect PaaS enables the rapid creation of highly interactive web applications while removing significant complexity, time and cost across the end-to-end lifecycle of developing and hosting web applications. Bungee Connect: * automates access to web-services (SOAP, REST, and XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. ) * simplifies database connectivity and programmability * enables graphical layout for user interface elements * provides full programmability of application logic * includes AJAX interactivity without programming * provides efficient debugging and form simulation capabilities * logs web service request and response envelopes * enables direct access to PostgreSQL databases, tables, fields, and transactions Bungee Connect provides direct deployment and hosting for Bungee-powered applications on one or more of three Bungee Grids located in Europe, United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America.
