Our company only develops in web2py. Python really, but web2py is what we use more than anything else by far. For example, we are developing a site that will handle terrabytes of data. At most, 196TB but most likely about a third of that at any one time. It's got at least 2 intranet servers and 1 amazon with a fat S3. We use Web2Py for a couple of reasons. We focus on startups. So we need to develop very fast and cheap. Many ideas never come about because you can't see results fast. Web2py let's us make protos very fast, sometimes in a day or two of work. We can upgrade and update very fast. It's easy to put the entire system in version control and push or pull updates. Very nice to do, and web2py doesn't panic when it sees files that aren't used for web2py itself. (like the version control files.) It's python, but then again so is django. Difference is that people who can't program can still setup and run web2py WAY faster then people using many other frameworks. Perhaps the reason you feel that web2py is used on mostly small apps, is because it's so easy to setup for small (and big) apps. Big apps take time on web2py on django, small apps take time on django. <-- that's my personal opinion. My daily bread wouldn't exist for 3+ people here at Encompass Solutions Oy if it wasn't for web2py. And 2 more people starting next month. :) -- Thank you Massimo Here's how I think of it, if your trying to think scaled software or big future, your doing it wrong. Start small, don't worry about if it's "fast", "scalable" and so on, most of what is out there is fast for hundreds of users. IF you do get big, remember most startup companies fail, then your going to have the good news that you need to scale up. And web2py gets you up fast and it scales up very well too. If you have speed problems you most likely going to find the fixes in your database, storage, or caching. Not your framework. What kind of project you thinking of doing? Can we, Encompass Solutions, help you? :) BR, Jason Brower
