Lokad.Cloud - alpha version released

One of the major little-known weakness of cloud computing is development productivity. Indeed, developing over the cloud ain't easy, and as complexity goes, the management of a complex, fully-distributed app may become a nightmare. At Lokad, as we started migrating a fairly complex technology, we did get the feeling that we were needing strong patterns and practices - tailored for the cloud - so that we don't get lost half-way in the migration process.

That's how Lokad.Cloud was born.

In short, Lokad.Cloud is a framework that can be used to rationalize and speed-up development of back-end apps over Windows Azure. Read more on the announcement made directly on the Windows Azure Forums.
