About CRUDr

##Persistent connection storage for everyone

What is CRUDr?

CRUDr is a new web service that makes it easy to add web sockets to your apps, to make CRUD (create, read, update and delete) operations in real-time.

Why is CRUDr different to other services?

• CRUDr handles storage.
• CRUDr is lightweight and open.
• CRUDr doesn't tie you to an API to interact with your data.
• With CRUDr, you have control over how and where your data is stored.

What databases does CRUDr support?

Currently CRUDr has built in support for mongoDB and simpleDB (AWS).

What are sockets?

Mozilla.org defines WebSockets as follows:

WebSockets is an advanced technology that makes it possible to open an interactive communication session between the user's browser and a server. With this API, you can send messages to a server and receive event-driven responses without having to poll the server for a reply.

In other words, WebSockets create a connection between the server and the user that stays open, allowing persistant connection for data to flow and facilitating apps that require a constant flow of information from user to server in real-time. Good examples would include chat services and online games.
