# CAVEAT EMPTOR
|
|
|
|
**Warning!!! Kapow!** is under heavy develepment and
|
|
[specification](/spec/); the provided code is a Proof of Concept and the final
|
|
version will not even share programming language.
|
|
Ye be warned.

|
## How Kapow! was born
|
|
|
|
Some awesome history is coming.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Kapow! for the impatient
|
|
When you need to share a command but not a whole system, Kapow! will help you by
|
|
the power of HTTP:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kapow! allows you to write a litte script that will serve an executable.
|
|
This script will let you define how connect HTTP to Shell using Kapow!'s shell
|
|
abstractions to the HTTP world. See it to believe:

|
## Kapow! Superpowers
|
|
|
|
Kapow! gives you:
|
|
|
|
* A very simple way to turn any shell executable into an API
|
|
* A remote administration API
|
|
* Opinion free shell integration
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Kapow! Curses
|
|
|
|
Kapow! can't help when:
|
|
|
|
* You need high throughput: Kapow! spawn a new executable every HTTP call
|
|
* You must perform complex logic to attend the request: never use Kapow! if
|
|
your executables doesn't perform al least 90% of the hard work
|
|
* You are building a huge application
|
|
|
|
|
|
## When Kapow! is your best ally:
|
|
|
|
* Easy command + Hard API = Kapow! to the rescue
|
|
* SSH for one command? Kapow! allow you to share only that command
|
|
* Remote instrumentation of several machines? make it easy with Kapow!
