I will put in one specific comment about this, from my experiences with Zope and Plone. In a previous job, we were building some sites in Zope with Plone, and we were having issues trying to scale them up to handle reasonable loads like what you would expect on medium web sites. They quite simply couldn't handle it. We brought in Andy McKay (one of the Plone developers) and the end answer from him was we were hitting memory leaks that had never been fixed and probably weren't going to be fixed anytime soon. We re-wrote the site in PHP. It was more of a Plone problem than a Zope problem. Zope/Plone was eating 400Mb+ of RAM. As an end result, Zope/Plone is great to prototype sites in, but you need something that doesn't eat resources for breakfast for production use. our sreve our www.g.o server rely on AxKit (axkit.org) and a set of custom shell scripts. We are extremely happy with the performance and scalability offered by AxKit (a Dual-PII 400 was able to withstand a slashdotting recently) and have no plans to migrate away from this platform in the near future. |
