Longevity Getting Started Guide Now Available

I'm happy to announce that the Getting Started Guide for longevity is now available. It walks through a sample application called Simple Blogging, which uses longevity on the back end, and Akka HTTP on the front.

This guide will walk you through the basics of using longevity within a real application.

Longevity now has an Activator Tutorial!

Longevity Now Has a Streamlined API!

I'm very excited to announce the 0.9.0 release of longevity, which features a whole slew of API improvements that make longevity much easier to use and understand. Here are the three most significant changes:

• Shorthands are gone
• Assocs are gone
• The API for Key and KeyVal has been reworked for significant ease-of-use improvements

I'll discuss each of these changes in more detail below.
