I'm not trying to make this flamebait or anything, but I was wondering if anyone had done any real performance comparisons between Cake and Rails? I have used Cake and do like it. I've also used Code Igniter and I really liked it emphasis on being lightweight and fast, but it does not support table relations and there were a few other things that I thought were better in Cake. Plus, it has a much smaller community and seems to be controlled by one developer.
Anyway, the reason for my question is that rails is very attractive to me, but I have worked with php for years and like the tried and true LAMP stack and do not feel as comfortble with the hosting stack for rails yet. I know that rails has one set of tests up on their site that show Symphony to be much slower than rails and Django to be much faster putting them in the middle. I was wondering if anybody has done any (or seen any) cake to rails comparisions? The reason I ask is that I'm working with someone on an idea for a web application that will be hosted and sold commerically as a hosted product. As such, the better performance I get, the fewer servers I need and the bigger cushion I have for peak usage. As I like cake and rails both, I was wondering if anyone knew what they were like speed wise. Rails scares me a little because there is so much magic going on under the hood that I wonder about it taking up a lot of process memory on the server and being slow to host in this sort of environment. Of course, cake is doing a lot of magic as well, and I don't have a feel for how faster or slow it's going to be yet either. I know the code igniter guys, for example, claim that ci is way faster than cake, but I know that speed is their primary goal and I do not know if they did any tuning on cake for their "tests." Thanks for listening to my ramblings, I'm not looking for "rails stinks" or "cake is terrible," or "ruby has a terrible syntax", a lot of that comes down to personal preference and I see things in both languages I like so I like both I'm just wondering if anybody has some real world experience with the performance on a very active web application. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
