Hi all, I would love to share my experiences as I develop my new web site, but in order to get a successful architecture without running into too many dead ends, I could really use some design recommendations or at least some recommended reading. I am very concerned about performance and scalability given a limited budget and a max of 20 hours per week of my time for a while. I am familiar with servlets, Oracle, Sun, and BEA Weblogic on a single server, but that approach is too expensive and not good enough performance or scalability. Although my site would provide a service rather than selling products, it would function similarly to Amazon.com. For example, for each new DB record, there would be many queries of lists of existing records. Also, pages would only have to be updated once per day. I am hoping for an initial single server architecture that could handle the equivalent of 300 simultaneous Amazon.com users without noticeable delay. I would love to use EJBs because they are so cool, but they seem like a performance liability - at least CMP (perhaps the coolest part) seems like a performance liability as well as placing severe restrictions on the DB schema. I am currently most familiar with Windows 2000, so given limited time, I would rather not switch platforms just yet if I can avoid it.
