In the last few weeks, I have been playing around with a couple of old and obsolete web applications that I have developed in the past with my own web framework. Much of the functionality that these custom web applications offer are facilitated by my framework, but sometimes these web applications also contain significant chunks of custom code.| Sander van der Burg's blog

As already explained in many previous blog posts, the Nix process management framework adds new ideas to earlier service management concepts explored in Nixpkgs and NixOS:| Sander van der Burg's blog
