NOTE: This is a preview release; while it should function as a drop-in replacement for an existing Puppet Master in most cases, it is not recommended for use in production without thorough testing in a staging environment.
NOTE: Puppet Server depends on Puppet 3.7.1+, so be aware that if you decide to install it on a system where you are currently running an Apache/Passenger master with an older version of Puppet, package installation will include an upgrade to Puppet itself.
Puppet Server is the next-generation application for managing Puppet agents. It is the platform that will carry Puppet's server-side components to a more distributed, service-oriented architecture. It has been built on top of the same technologies that have made PuppetDB successful, and will allow us to make great leaps forward in performance, scalability, advanced metrics collection, and fine-grained control over the Ruby runtime.

Cursive is a Clojure IDE based on IntelliJ IDEA. Several of us at Puppet Labs use it regularly and couldn't live without it. It's got some really great editing, refactoring, and debugging features, and the author, Colin Fleming, has been amazingly helpful and responsive when we have feedback. If you're a Clojure developer you should definitely check it out!
JRuby is an implementation of the Ruby programming language that runs on the JVM. It's a fantastic project, and it is the bridge that allows us to run all of the existing Puppet Ruby code while taking advantage of all of the advanced features and libraries that are available on the JVM. We're very grateful to the developers for building such a great product and for helping us work through a few bugs that we've discovered along the way.
