Hi, We have a web server where we are hosting around 12-15 django web sites most of them attracting modest traffic, except a couple which sees spiikes on and off. Together we estimate just about 20,000-40,000 page views.
However we are expecting major spikes in traffic in the coming days and are moving to a 8 GB RAM quad core server. We are also trying to optimize the django apps. Presently we have memcached mod-python instances running. The database server is also running on the same server. What all should we do to ensure that such a server can handle huge volumes of traffic? We are presently optimizing every site with whatever we can according to what Yahoo! recommends for improving site performance. But that's only at the client side. I am told that mod wsgi is more efficient than mod-python. How efficient? Do your recommend moving all sites to modwsgi? What about nginx? Is it worth exploring Nginx as alternative to Apache? Is there anything else we need to look at? Thanks for the advices... Also what is the realistic number of page views/ simultaneous connections that a Nehalem quad core Intel i-7 920, 8 GB RAM machine can handle? Any statistical experiences.
