I use EC2 for most of my sites, and RailsMachine for Curbly. Lately I've begun switching all the sites over to Passenger, so I don't have to worry about load balancing between mongrels. To be quite honest, performance testing hasn't really been done on CE (anybody want to help?!), so I can't give you a lot of specifics. There's a little bit of caching built in to the system, and it holds up tolerably well for my purposes (Curbly gets >500,000 pageviews per month). Scaling with CE isn't any different from scaling any other Rails app: a good place to start is NewRelic's Scaling Rails series<http://railslab.newrelic.com/scaling-rails>. Hope that helps, Bruno --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CommunityEngine" group.
