Moonstalk is a platform for trivial web applications in the cloud, providing a development framework and hosting backend with a persistent datastore, designed for VPS and cloud servers. Easy to use and deploy, flexible, and efficient. Suited to both advanced web developers and beginners.

Moonstalk sits behind your web server, and dynamically serves pages developed using its Lua-based framework, or simply HTML files.

Moonstalk is currently in development by Jacob Jay for The Moon Mill, and will be released as open-source when it's good and ready. For news follow Moonstalk on Twitter. It is currently pre-packaged supporting only Intel 64-bit OS X and Ubuntu, with Lighttpd 1.4.26.
