Colophon

Credit where credit's due

We've used a whole host of technologies to put Nomad together, and we'd like to say a particular thanks to all the great open source projects which make life so much easier nowadays for a startup.

Infrastructure

Nomad is hosted partly on Amazon's ec2 service and partly in our own colo space at Rackspace. We manage our stack with Puppet for configuration management, Capistrano for application deployment, and supervisord for process management.

Server-side

We use Mark's qswarm library to build the Nomad agent network communicating over RabbitMQ. Our API runs on Rails and NodeJS through an nginx proxy.

Client-side

Our VS extension was not surprisingly built by Rob in C# with Visual Studio and NUnit.

Other

We'd also like to acknowledge a whole host of other tools we've made use of along the way, including Pivotal Tracker, Mixpanel, Zendesk, Jekyll, Mailchimp, Github, Tumblr, Feedburner, and Google Analytics.

Most importantly, Nomad uses the excellent PhoneGap without which the service would not be possible.
