• Turbine is the underlying web app framework
• Torque is used for the database object relational layer.
• Intake is used for form data validation and Torque OM object population.
• Velocity is used as the abstraction between the user interface and the business logic (ie: the View). The look and feel of this application easily customizable.
• Lucene is the search engine that is used to index and search the issue data.
• MySQL is the SQL backend (Support for other RDBM's will also be included. We are just developing with MySQL for now because it is a commonly used database.)
