Hi Simon,
Oh and if you haven't already seen it in operation, visit my site
below or http://semacode.org
I was checking out semacode (cool software btw) the other day &
noticed you had
a post on being "/.'d" was it the sheer number of hits on the
server swamping
the server or AxKit not being able to serve the results? (or
something else).
Well, I mean, it was linked to by slashdot. The site stayed up no
problem, actually...
I've had two /.ings on my creaky old server and AxKit has always held
up under the load without breaking a sweat. My normal # of pages /
day is about 4000 (3/minute), that particular /. wasn't too much,
10000 pages on one day (7/minute), back in 2004 I had 20 000 pages
(14/minute) in a day. Really not that much, I guess. Of course the
peak loads were much higher. I don't have the stats for exactly how
much higher but I'd expect 10x higher. So I guess I've probably
served up to 3 pages / second on my creaky setup.
(Note that's pages, not hits. Also, I haven't done load testing to
determine the maximum. I imagine it's at least 10x more than that
though.)
It's 100% XML/XSLT and a little bit of mod_rewrite.
Is there any areas you can think of that AxKit 2 may improve on
compared to 1?
Well I'd like to see working axkit: URIs :-)
