I just thought I would post an update on this since peoples are wondering about high traffic sites. We just launched the first of five CF 8.0.1 64bit servers on Linux RH 5.xx. So far the installs we've done (in house and production) have not had any major issues. We've only needed to install our custom cfx or jar's and tune the JVM's. This week we launched a production server and with a few minor JVM tuning tweaks we've got it running pretty good. This weekend and Monday will tell us more. So far it's handling about a third of our total website service traffic. We run three CF servers behind a load balancer to handle all the http://www.mlsfinder.com traffic. These three servers see about 2.3 million CF Page views per day (as of July 1st, 2008) and the load is spread at 33% each. If this weekend and Monday (our servers busiest day) turnout well we'll be upgrading the remaining servers next week. So far our cf7 code (which is really cf4 and cf5 code that was tweaked enough to run on CF7) runs just fine and even faster than on cf7. Turds really can fly with CF8. :-O (yeah the code base is old and we are starting a new code base which is CFMX OOMVC, but it all takes time and money.) Since we're upgrading from CF7.01 ENT 32bit to CF8.0.1 64Bit our upgrade process is as follows, make a disk image (in case all goes bad) wipe the server clean and install RH 5 64bit then install CF8.0.1 645 bit. Then apply all the config settings.
