I am new to Vaadin, and want to put together an application to deploy via one of the cloud providers.
The application will require significant database activity, and the front end will be fairly simple but does need to be modern and very user friendly (thus my interest in Vaadin).
I am very experienced in JEE, JSF, and RDBMS (primarily have been using Oracle for quite some time now). I use IntelliJ for work development so am most familiar with that - this will be a side project - but will use Eclipse or Netbeans if that works better for Vaadin.
I have very limited time to devote to this, so want to get everything set up as quickly as possible so I can get right to development and proof of concept.
I appreciate any advice regarding:
-
what cloud options are both low (or no) initial cost as well as a good fit for hassle-free Vaadin application deployment
-
what is the most efficient solution for managing enterprise level database access from within Vaadin (supporting transaction management, clustering, and high performance)
-
are there any existing articles, blogs, etc that walk through the process of setting up for vaadin development aimed for cloud deployment
