Restbed

Restbed is a comprehensive and consistent programming model for building applications that require seamless and secure communication over HTTP, with the ability to model a range of business processes, designed to target mobile, tablet, desktop and embedded production environments.

It's akin to embedding NGINX into your companies own product line. -- Solutions Architect, Bellrock Technology

We love hearing about the creative ways you guys and girls use Restbed. Why not spare a few minutes and share your passion.
