Symfony and the Zend Framework have more "downloads" than we do, and Symfony probably has more active users, but that'll likely change in the near future.
Scaling with Cake is, for the most part, just like scaling any PHP application, although Cake does have some built-in production mode optimizations (setting DEBUG to 0 enables production mode). The two things I recommend most often are installing a good opcode cache like APC (http://pecl.php.net/package/APC), and moving Cake's mod_rewrite rules from the .htaccess files into the Apache conf. This keeps them in memory, rather than requiring Apache to read the files on every request. On my production server, Cake can render average requests at the rate of between 60 and 80 per second. Using Cake's built-in caching features, that rate increases to over 100 per second. This is a basic production box with basic optimizations, including those mentioned above. If you had a proper cluster, I'm sure you could handle a much higher volume. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
