Wayne,
At this time TeraScript version 8 is not yet officially announced, so I can’t easily point you to a list of features and improvements that are on the horizon. What I can say is that version 8 is a serious update to the TeraScript platform and will either ship with or lay the foundation for many enterprise-class features. These include scalability, performance, interoperability, security and other focuses. Later this year we are going to have an alpha period during which you would be able to test your software with version 8. You’ll also be able to provide feedback to our development team to help shape the final product. I can directly answer this question: Will TeraScript 8 provide a platform which can be leveraged within Amazon’s EC2 service in a scalable way to power a high-volume website? Yes.

I was recently commissioned to develop a proof of concept site which is a database of short review videos of products and services. Videos are delivered by Brightcove, authentication is handled by Janrain, but all the geographic and tag searching is handled by Terascript and Filemaker. Well the site got approval, and budget. But the suggested scope of the project is fairly big. Like millions of users. And the term 'Enterprise' keeps floating about. We have decided to host on Amazon AWS for it's resilience and scalability. We haven't decided Windows/Linux yet but will probably go the latter. And for database we'll probably go for some flavour of SQL. The real question is what middleware do I use? Do I stick with Terascript (hey, I've stuck with it this long) or move to PHP and rewrite everything I have done so far? Does Terascript have what it takes? What is it's future? I would be interested in your thoughts.
