Sausalito is a suite of tools that allow you to write, test, and deploy full-fledged Web-based applications, coded entirely in XQuery. Sausalito lets you focus on your application logic and takes care of all configurations. Sausalito is easy to install and easy to get started. Furthermore, Sausalito provides many features, particularly geared towards Web-based applications and RESTful services. Sausalito provides a two step development approach:

1. You develop and test your application locally on your PC/Mac. To do that, Sausalito provides tools to create projects, develop code, and debug the application.
2. Deploy the code ...
   • ... on the Web using Amazon Web Services (AWS) so that everybody on the Web can use your application. Deployment works with a single click using our Eclipse-based development environment or by simply running one of the provided scripts - no configuration or anything else is needed.
   • ... in your private data center (Please, contact us at , if you would like to do this).

Development and testing your application on your PC/Mac is free. Furthermore, all Sausalito tools are free. Deployment on the Amazon cloud is not free; the cost is proportional to the usage of the application, thereby following the AWS costing model from Amazon.

There are two ways to work with Sausalito:

• Eclipse: Develop, test, debug, and deploy your Sausalito application using the Eclipse IDE.
• CoreSDK: Develop, test, debug, and deploy your Sausalito application using your favorite editor and command-line scripts.
