Prasanna,
It supports Ring as well. You should be able to just
lein ring server
in the root of your new project and it will boot up. The ring options are
in the project.clj so you can change the port etc.
It also supports Immutant, Tomcat, HTTPKit, Heroku and Beanstalk. If you
know of another good target let me know and we'll support that too!
As for NoSQL, a lot of the Model and Association stuff in Caribou is
naturally relational, but all of the db interactions are abstracted by a
DbAdapter protocol, so we (or someone) would just have to write an adapter
for it. Maybe some of the Association stuff would be trickier, but there's
no reason it couldn't be done.
We are planning to support many more backends in the future, but for now it
just supports Postgres, Mysql and H2. There has been talk of supporting
Datomic as well, we will see what the future holds.
All that said, there is no reason why you couldn't put a NoSQL db in front
of the various model queries right now as a kind of caching layer. As a
primary data store, that would take some work. I will see how much
interest there is!
