I don't see anything you've said so far that would preclude CF as a solution. I worked on a project that peaked at around 10m pageviews in a single hour. That ran on 2, yes two, CF6 servers whose CPU barely rose above 10%. This was not a highly transactional site, and we did rely heavily on other caching technologies, but I just mention this because it shows that CF may be among the least significant choices you may make in this process. There are alot of things in CF9 in particular (ehcache) that will help you scale in many new and awesome ways. I'd definitely read over this 9 part blog series by Rob Brooks-Bilson that goes in depth about it (read the comments too): http://tinyurl.com/yk4v4gy I'd also highly recommend Mike Brunt's blog (and his consulting work). He focuses on on scaling and High Availability (HA) with CF. He also does consulting work specifically in this area so you might consider adding a visit from him to your development process, specifically during the planning and load testing stages. Also - he's from the UK, so you will both enjoy that aspect I imagine. http://www.cfwhisperer.com/ Lastly, for a good roundup of strategies that cross a wide variety of technologies, you may want to spend a day or three reading and following linkns from the High Scalability blog. It has several posts about the strategies that Twitter, Facebook, etc use to scale, as well as links to LOTS of other scaling resources. http://highscalability.com/ Good luck! -Cameron -- Cameron Childress Sumo Consulting Inc http://www.sumoc.com --- cell: 678.637.5072 aim: cameroncf email: [email protected] ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
