The majority of its functionality is hidden behind logins and passwords, but some part of it is available to general public as well - well, at least to those who understand Polish. ;-) The website was implemented with the following software stack: Debian + PostgreSQL + AWS. This stack has proved to be a very solid foundation and the implementation of the complete website was a very easy-going experience, except for a few small bumps at the beginning of the road. I believe that the support that these technologies give to the programmer have no equivalent in the web development ecosystem. In particular, the myth that dynamically typed languages are better for web due to the fast turn-around (no compilation needed) is irrelevant when the actual turn-around of the Ada-based solution is observed in practice. I can recommend this solution to anybody who attempts to implement a web service from the ground up. Please feel free to use this website as a positive example of the Ada- based (AWS in particular) web development. I will be happy to share the insight and experience that was gained during the development of this website - feel free to contact me here or privately in case of any questions. -- Maciej Sobczak * http://www.inspirel.com
