It's pretty easy to get some visual results on how your web app is performing. Fire up the Application Center Test (I think it comes with Enterprise edition ov VS2003), and point it to your web server. It's pretty cool watching the req/s "skyrocket" as you make subtle changes, such as adding OuputCaching. /daniel

Actually the application is running in two servers, using NLB, serving near 2000 req/sec. I think it's possible to build a stable, scalable and fast web application if you design your app with this goal in mind. You can find an interesting approach in ASP.NET performance in this article about "micro caching" by Steven Smith: http://aspalliance.com/251 Emilio D'Angelo Yofre > Hi Again, > For those of you who have stress tested your web stuff, I'd like to know > if > it *really* is possible to build a stable, scalable and fast web app > *before* I go and built it. > Yes, I did read the advertising ... that's what got me here. > > If you're not sure what I'm getting at, here are a few alternative > questions: > - Why is there virtually no mention of "stress test" in the archives? > - How much "extra" work is involved in getting a simple web app from the > "it > works" stage to the "it's stable, fast and scalable" stage? > - How much of "what it requires" is not documented? > - Can you summarise your stress testing results? > > I apologise in advance to anyone who decides this post could be > inflammatory, I'm coming from another language where the advertising was > good but the rest didn't stand up - and I found out the hard way. > > I'd appreciate hearing about any issues that you have found, or that you > know to exist. > > =================================== > This list is hosted by DevelopMentor� http://www.develop.com > Some .NET courses you may be interested in: > > NEW!
