BENTOPIE

Bentopie is a lightweight Node.js based content management system. It is so light that you can actually run it on a Raspberry Pi, a credit card size linux machine with just 512MB memory. But wait, do not get turned off by its size, this system actually performs well, tested using some online stress-test tools like Pingdom, Google Speed Test, Web Page Test.

Current technology stack:

  • Node.js
  • Express.js
  • Data is stored in a lean, homegrown file-to-memory database. (Can be swapped out with other DB; relational or document-based with minimal effort)
  • JQuery and JQueryUI

It is an open source code, feel free to download the code and use this application.
