This last post is a dream come true for my boss. Glossary: - "developer" --> someone that can create logics in programs, coding in some programming language - "sysop" --> someone who knows inside out every bit of the pieces the "developer" uses to make programs work - "devop" --> someone who is a coder, and tries to put the bits together to make his program work Bit of background: Working in a large sysop group managing servers for every kind of things...in the range of a 6M $ worth of hardware. The new "devops" movement, where "developers" that are not-that-expert in "sysops" try to do all by themselves, often results in all kinds of configuration nightmares. I mean, I'm a developer too, but maybe I'm too biased on the sysop side to let this go unnoticed. I'm happy that developers can set up a website from the ground up, we're in 2015 after all.... But "sysop-only" people (boss included) are scared of these "new times" because the idea that is moving everybody on is that they don't matter anymore: if "devops" can set everything from the ground up, why the need of "sysops" ? Ok, background finished.
This kind of configuration may only matter if you didn't run multiple sites on a single server! let's start with "cpu" ideas.... web performance isn't related only to cpu power...but even if it was, assigning 2 wsgi processes vs 1 in a 4-core server doesn't mean that users will get 2x performances...with some - hard - roundings (memory, I/O contention, network, nginx master processes, etc) your theory would be valid only as long as you host EXACTLY 4 processes at the most in a 4-core server. limits "ideas".... enforcing limits per ip address: what about users sitting behind a corporate proxy, users on large MANs, chineese folks ? to your site, they all come from the same ip, but are different users! tl;dr: don't ever put here what are the sites you manage, you may get someone like me on the other end and he'd not be pleased :-P -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
