Re: Cake and Traffic

[Felix Geisendörfer]

CakePHP can handle a lot of traffic and works very well with a lot of hosts. I've always used it with cheap shared hosts - no problem. I saw it being used on a couple high traffic sites and it handled that as well too (up to the point where php reaches it's performance limits and you either have to get more servers, use caching, or tweak your setup). You should definitely have a better experience with it. But, as you have already said: This is rather due to the widespread use of php. If php was some new rising language you would probably have just as difficult a time with CakePHP as you did with ruby (on rails). But CakePHP really does a good job at being light weight and compatible. It offers view caching, database caching, and persistent models (and maybe some other tweaks I don't know about ^^). So welcome to the kitchen and enjoy your baking ; ).

However, finding hosts to support it properly has turned out to be a nightmare. I would like to move on to a different framework that can be supported by a wider range of web hosts, and that doesn't require as much system administration expertise as Rails does. At the same time, however, I really don't want to lose the power of an MVC framework. Enter CakePHP. The only question I have is whether Cake can handle a lot of traffic. Can anyone tell me either: 1) whether there are any high-traffic sites that use CakePHP (I've looked at the CakePHP showcase and dug around for others, but I can't tell whether they've really been able to take a pounding.) or 2) whether I'm just being needlessly paranoid. :-) Many thanks, Rick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
