Stackato 1.0 Now Available!

Last week we launched Stackato 1.0! Although it was an important day for ActiveState, it was a far more important day for developers and enterprises looking to move to the cloud.

Stackato is the application platform for creating a private, secure, flexible Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) using any language on any stack on any cloud. From the desktop to the datacenter, Stackato makes it easy to develop, deploy, migrate, scale, manage, and monitor applications on any cloud. With Stackato, developers can simulate a production environment on a local machine, code, test, and then launch an application to any cloud. And Enterprise IT can achieve new levels of data security, reduce time to market, save money, ensure compliance, and gain greater control over the cloud.

Learn more about Stackato and download the Stackato Micro Cloud today to get started.


Stackato’s ability to support any technology platform, its ease of deployment and support for private cloud PaaS environments gives it a clear leadership position in the increasingly crowded PaaS space. Competitors include Red Hat’s OpenShift, CloudBees and Cloud Foundry, though few vendors match its combination of flexibility and ability to deploy private cloud PaaS environments.

Komodo IDE On Sale - Extended Through March 31

Since we released Komodo IDE 7 last month, we've received lots of great feedback:

  • "Komodo's newly improved syntax checker is useful and very functional. It picked up errors in my JavaScript code, such as unmatched parenthesis and missing operators, almost instantly" - Ars Technica
  • mfahydev After weeks of use, congrats to @ActiveState for #Komodo7. Both #KomodoEdit & IDE are unsung gems of OS X #coding.
  • calendee Just updated to Komodo IDE 7 from @activestate. The best IDE out there.
  • pawprint_net @activestate Great so far - best win so far for me is moving tabs to the right without tweakUI - it's the little things :)

So by popular demand, we're extending our launch sale! Buy Komodo IDE 7 starting from $245 (reg. $295) from now through March 31.

Download the 21-day trial.

Blog: Diving Deep Into Komodo's Syntax Checker

Eric Promislow has written two great blog posts on Komodo 7's syntax checking capabilities and extensibility. If you haven't read them yet, you're in for a treat.

In Part 1, Eric shows Komodo 7's extensive out-of-the-box capabilities. The follow-up post shows how to take more control and add your own syntax checkers, including writing a linter for a new language (using Haml as an example), and writing a new linter for an existing language.

Read Part 1 and Part 2 of the syntax checking blogs.
