Hydra Distributed Elastic Cache

Hydra Cache is an open source distributed elastic cache system inspired by the design of Amazon’s Dynamo. Since probably no one can explain Dynamo and its benefits better than Werner Vogels, we will just provide the link to his paper Amazon Dynamo here if you are interested. In our own words, the ultimate goal of Hydra Cache is to build a distributed, decentralized and generic cache system that, in theory at least, can provide vast amount of high performance and reliable distributed memory for any enterprise application, big or small. Just as the Lernaean Hydra of Greek mythology was nearly impossible to kill, so will be the case for your application.

GValidation Plugin for Griffon

GValidation is a validation plugin for Griffon – A Grails like application framework for developing desktop applications in Groovy. Like most part of the Griffon framework GValidation’s syntax and usage closely resemble its cousin Grails’ validation and constraints support. However the similarity pretty much stops here, since Griffon model are very different from Grails’ concept of model. In Grails model usually refers to domain classes that are bound to database, however in Griffon models are usually just mere POGOs thus this plugin is designed to work with Griffon models as well as any POGOs.

GValidation is written purely in Groovy while retaining most of the syntax of Grails constraints support.
