We run some pretty high load apps, and we're happy with zserver.
Was zserver disabled only for security reasons?
I don't believe it had anything to do with security.
Nope: it was disabled because:
Actually, Zope 3 doesn't use ZServer. Never has. It uses zope.server
which is a different implementation.
It was made to be no-longer the default server. This was a mistake
BTW. My bad. zope.server is still supported.
- Not many people feel competent to extend ZServer.
- People thought that using a server maintained by others was better
than maintaining one ourselves.
Yup.
...
I prefer ZServer becuase:
- It is faster.
We (ZC) have had serious problems with the twisted server in
production. We no-longer use it. It may have improved. It's worth
noting that the trouble we've had might be due to something we/I did
in the integration. :( Chasing this is not a priority of mine.
- It is less complex.
I'm not so sure about this. Maybe.
- It got *lots* of attention for real-world scaling issues, and
is rock-solid stable.
I don't think this is true, or at least not as true as you think it
is. :)
The zope.server != ZServer. :( It seems to be working reasonably
well, but it is not the same server that has served Zope 2 well for
many years.
Not counting Twisted, we are currently supporting 2 servers, ZServer
and zserver. :(
...
Note that the flavor-of-the-month is actually WSGI now, rather than
Tsisted (which uses the WSGI support): see Philipp's zope on a
paste
demo, for instance.
I really wish someone would create some server benchmarks for WSGI so
that we could have a more rational basis for evaluationg servers.
