That's an interesting question... because Flex is client side, it's the same
as asking about scalable javascript.
So when we're talking about scalability issues and flex, the majority of
issues will reside on the server. At that point it's the same discussion as
every other web technology... php,
Flex scales much better than HTML applications. It offloads a huge amount
of work from the server to all of the clients and if you're using AMF or
RTMP for data it greatly reduces the size of data sent over the wire are
compared to HTML. Also AMF and RTMP are faster to serialize so it improves
I'd agree with Nate. Flex is irrelevant to scaling. Check back end
solutions. I would go for java and not php for example...
There are lots of large sites that use php but then again they have monster
servers.
My experience is that java supports much more concurrent connections than
php and that

Flex apps have the advantage of being a static binary and therefore

the back end.
But if you just need an example to show your boss, take a look at
Might as well ask how scalable is explorer.exe? The answer is mu.
