Hi,
I'll offer my opinion, as I'm facing the same thing. I have a site that is
going to be massive. Cold Fusion simply could not hold up to the load, and
crashed repeatedly. The site is about 99% data driven, so there is a lot of
data access going on. I am now developing this site in ASP, and it seems
far more stable. We are generally getting 100k+ hits a week on this site.
After seeing many large projects fail with cold fusion, I'd recommend trying
other options before going the CF route on a large project. Note, I am a
die hard CF developer, I feel that CF is good for smaller sites, less hits,
and allows for a faster development time than ASP... but it just doesn't
hold up on larger projects.
