Real Time Logic boasts that its Mako Server Web application back end for Linux, Mac and Windows platforms can respond with 45,000 dynamic page requests in the same time that Apache outputs 25,000 less-compute-intensive static pages. Utilizing the easy-to-learn Lua scripting language, Mako Server offers fast, efficient development of Web applications, ranging from database-driven business applications to customized applications managing microcontroller-based devices, says Real Time Logic. In contrast to the typical approach requiring integration and configuration of components, such as Apache, PHP and SQL database, Mako Server brings all of these components together, bundling them into one unit so that the developer can immediately focus on application development for the desired platform or device. With the server, developers can bundle their applications into a single zip file, so users can download and run the application just as they would a Windows-based application.
