(Warning: poster may be semi-grumpy) Well, as someone who's worked on several high-traffic sites I can say that what matters is not the framework but your ability to increase capacity without rewriting anything. You can build a high-capacity (in terms of number of hits) web site with or without a framework because the concepts for building such a site go beyond languages: 1) can your data sources transfer information at high speed 2) can you partition your data sources with only minor changes 3) can you cache dynamically-generated output to reduce server load Yes, CakePHP can help you with items 2 and 3, but it all comes down to actually understanding the problem of high traffic web sites. I'd love for someone to show me how one PHP web framework is better suited for building high traffic web sites over another. -- Chris Hartjes My motto for 2007: "Just build it, damnit!" @TheBallpark - http://www.littlehart.net/attheballpark @TheKeyboard - http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
