Third Party Coronium

I was unable to find the Coronium 2 post here at forum, and i was wondering if you guys have any news on it regarding to its releasing date.

Thanks!

Hi,

At this stage Coronium 2 has been postponed indefinitely. After the Corona Cloud release, I’ll attempt to revisit C2, but I’d like to structure it more as an open source project so that others can contribute. I wouldn’t expect any new updates on that before Summer.

Thank you for your interest.

Cheers.

Hi Chris,

Been searching/reading through the forums/other interwebs.  My background was as an early adopter of original Corona Cloud then rolled my own APIs in Rails 4 with a home grown Lua Restful Library.  Keen to move to something more supported so we can focus on apps and not devops… As such we are looking to refactor our app template with a future looking offering.

From what I understand…

Parse:

-the hosted service is going away but you can roll your own server(s)

-mod_parse is declining technology

-Corona SDK Parse Plugin (0.2.7) is latest.  

Is the above plugin likely to remain supported or will it become depreciated/roll into Corona Cloud?

Corona CLOUD.

-new with no reference to the old cloud other than name/common features

-preferred “official solution”

-incorporates features from Coronium / Parse to make best of breed.

Very summarised but does this mean…wait until its released?

Any information would be great.  Happy to wait but wanted to make sure we were on the right track as Parse Plugin looks very good.

Thanks so much.

Hi,

In relation to Parse, there are no future plans for support or updates from this side, so you’d be on your own there.

As far as Corona Cloud, the feature set for the first release is as follows:

 

 - User/Device Management

 - Data/Object Storage

 - Lua Cloud Code

 - File Storage

 - Public facing dynamic pages

 - Multi-app support / REST like interface

Other features need to be implemented with the plugins available for Corona SDK. You can of course use the Cloud service to sync/manage user and 3rd party data.

As a matter of policy, I can’t speak on release dates, but I’m working towards a release as quickly as possible. 

Hope that helps.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for clarifying… It sounds fantastic - especially the public facing dynamic pages as it means I can migrate from a custom rails backend to something where I can focus on the app and not everything…

Reading between the lines I understand that you can’t say a lot re features or timing.  

Can you give any indication on:

  • Access from app to server, will be it be a roll your own or is there likely to be recommended/example best practice CRUD.

  • Scaling… When I looked at Coronium originally it didn’t appear scalable for lots of users with lots of data and its come a long way.  User/Device Management is a very positive sign (love it).  Would it be suitable for business apps e.g. Sharing Records on the Server?

  • Any limits on data types (e.g. can we use blobs, so images etc.)

Thanks so much.  Appreciate you are a busy man…

Hi,

Just quickly, there most likely will be a client side module or plugin for interfacing via Corona. But the way it’s structured, you could roll your own if so inclined.

Scaling is a top priority, and one that is slowing the release a bit, but is a must-have.

Don’t hold me to it, but pretty much any file type should be supported for file storage.

Cheers
