Lisp, interpreted languages in general, are single core only. Thus, a Hetzner CX11 offer for 2.98€/month https://www.hetzner.de/cloud always is sufficient, even for 60 clients.
The is a huge discussion out there about Python GIL, many people claiming, that Python applications (Django, Flask) couldn't scale. But there is a solution for that, a very cheap one: You only have to use multiple A-record entries in DNS for automatic load balancing between several PicoLisp Hetzner Server instances: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5319649/using-dns-for-failover-using-multiple-a-records This way, your application will scale _endlessly_ even without a costy load balancer. That's because the behaviour to pick randomly one of these DNS A record IP Adresses is built-in into any browser. Only problem left, is to asynchronously sync the database content across several physical machines. I personally tend to use http://dqlite.io , the little, distributed brother of famous SQLite, which is built in into all browsers under the name IndexdDB. But, in fact, "distributed database", in Picolisp, comes for free: **Integrated Distributed Database Engine** *Build large, distributed databases with fewer headaches and fewer dependencies* Database functionality is built into the core of the VM, making PicoLisp a language for querying and manipulating databases. For that, PicoLisp includes a built-in application framework and Prolog engine so you can create, organize, inspect and change (and even build a fancy UI for) your data - all with a uniform and concise syntax. And when it's time to scale, PicoLisp has you covered - creating networks of distributed databases is built into the core as well. It's simple and powerful, and makes few assumptions about your application architecture. From: https://picolisp.com/wiki/?home With this, Picolisp even beats _extremely expensive_ commercial solutions .. Especially Closure and Datomic -> dustbin! US bloat! Have fun! Am Dienstag, 5.
