Challenge: “Aegeon is a startup, and we are constrained by time,” explains Rob James, CTO of Aegeon. “The more time we take to build an application, the more it costs, and that is prohibitive for a startup. The challenge for us was to try and build a product that was competitive in the marketplace, while keeping to budget and time limitations.”
Aegeon had to meet a very tight schedule to create the prototype for Spaceo.us. Although the initial plan was to develop the product using pure Java, the company decided that the environment was not flexible enough and did not provide adequate infrastructure support for them to build the prototype on time, with all the features they wanted to include. Aegeon needed to find a new platform that would enable them to accelerate the development process, especially during the prototyping stage.
Solution: Aegeon chose Groovy and Grails to solve the challenges of developing a prototype in Java, and the company ended up using this platform to develop the entire Spaceo.us system. Groovy is a dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine, that offers a flexible Java-like syntax all Java developers can learn in a matter of hours. Grails is an advanced and innovative web-application framework based on Groovy that enables IT teams to establish fast development cycles through agile methodologies and to deliver quality applications in reduced amounts of time.
