Hi all, I'm about to start a Django project that will be replacing an existing high-profile Drupal site. The existing site has extremely high traffic - approximately 1,440,000 page views per hour, or 400 per second. This is only possible with the help of Akami. Without Akami the site would melt.
Is there anything I need to be aware of with regard to Django and high availability? I saw this: http://www.davidcramer.net/other/43/rapid-development-serving-500000-pageshour.html but our traffic is triple that. I did glean a lot of good information from the site, however. I know that if we throw enough hardware at the system it will be able to handle the volume, but we don't have the budget for the hardware necessary in this case. Does anyone have any experience with a site of this magnitude? The 400 pages per second is a constant rate, not peak. The launch date is in September, so we have a limited time to design the models, port over the data (from Drupal's fractured database structure), and recreate this site from scratch.
