Over the last 10 years I had the opportunity to develop - with the OODBMS Gemstone/S - lots of project solutions for our business and at least three products for our customers (in two different companies - with quite different businesses and different licenses).
The development and production environment changed pretty much over these years. Only API driven, with UIs written in Sencha ExtJS (for browsers), adding RabbitMQ/Connector and PostgreSQL/Connector to the solutions. Playing around with Apache-Superset, reporting using PDF using Christian Haiders libraries.
Using a model based development approach with code generators for C#, Java, Python and Javascript (ExtJS) on the client side and for Topaz on the server side, this has become more and more complex over the years reaching the limits of a one-user-developer approach, so that I still mostly use 3.6.x versions of Gemstone/S in the products and 3.7.x mainly in projects.
So to still get an overview over this complex stuff, I sat down and started to write a documentation (in Germany - sorry, but the topic is difficult and I want to use it for my daily base). I hope to finish this documentation at the end of this year. Currently it gives only an overview how I used Gemstone/S and I assume that I use it quite differently compared to the "normal" users of Gemstone/S and it covers also general aspects for using Gemstone/S under Linux together with all these subsystems - even considering aspects of different licenses of Gemstone/S.
So, here will be the location for this document:

This is a very, very moving, changing target
