I think you should worry about building something first, then worry about whether or not it can handle huge amounts of traffic. If you are getting thousands or hundreds of thousands of hits per minute then (a) you are doing better than 99.999% of the web applications out there and (b) will be creating custom solutions to your particular scaling problems. Twitter is built on Rails, but has been heavily modified to meet their specific needs. It wouldn't surprise me if Pownce was the same way. Before people get on my case, understand I'm not advocating doing no planning at all in terms of thinking about scalability. I'm advocating actually building something simple and to open standards as to make it easier to scale out your app when the time comes. On this topic, any good tutorials on handling query caching and output caching in Django? Those are two things I would build into any sort of web app right from the beginning. -- Chris Hartjes --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
