Gyrex is a software platform for modern server applications that need to be performant, scalable, and enable various user interfaces – from Web Frontend to native mobile applications. On 25 June 2014, Gyrex Version 1.3 was released as part of the Eclipse Luna release.
In addition to numerous performance improvements and updates of the embedded framework, the new cluster-wide Eventbus and the Websocket support for Gyrex applications were released. With Cluster Eventbus, developers can now define their own event classes and use them for event distribution in a Gyrex Cluster. Various new UseCases can be supported e.g. the cluster-wide synchronisation of caches that are maintained on each node.
With the new Websocket support, Gyrex applications can now actively communicate to clients such as browsers or mobile apps via an active Websocket. This allows the real-time display of changes to web application data in the browser without the user having to manually initiate an update.
In Gyrex 1.3, development is once again simplified via the introduction of new standards, annotations, and dependency injections e.g. in the area of job control.
