I'm not extremely well-versed in Django by any means, but we're currently looking for a framework that can replace our existing .NET-based website and control system. We get anywhere between 80,000 hits a day (average) but can unexpectedly spike to several times that many in a very, very short period of time with most of the hits impacting 2-3 files. Obviously, even with a significant server setup, IIS and .NET can quickly get overwhelmed.
I'm not convinced the cacheing aspects of Django's cache would be suitable for this. I realize memcached is great (and have used it elsewhere), but doesn't that method still require the request to go through Django and Python? Ideally, I'd like to use a filesystem cache that went directly through the webserver but would fall through to Django if the cached file doesn't exist. Is this possible? Example: /wx/hurricane/Ernesto_Track would normally go through Django to fetch and render. If, however, /wx/hurricane/Ernesto_Track already exists as a real file, I'd like the webserver (Apache2) to just delivery the file without any Django overhead. Updates through Django could detect and expire the cache, as could a cron task.
