Hi Thomas: Picking up this thread again as nobody else reponded. Can you please share what is the problem that you are trying to solve ? As for scalability, some of the parameters are, . Observability . File I/O . DBMS interface . Load Balancing . Shared-nothing . CPU PHP shines over both Java and Rails when it comes to scalibility. Code maintainability depends on "proper encapsulation". Best practices on coding standards and naming conventions, and usage of debugger do help in speeding up development significantly. As for methodology, i'd request Maruthi to share thoughts on Agile. This may not be glamorous, but what has worked for me is: . Decide what you shouldn't decide . Each iteration does not exceed 7 days . Negotiate change set . Every monday put up a new link for the latest build There are 'no silver bullets'. thanks Saifi.
