Hi, we, thats a projekt at the University of Lüneburg, Germany, called "myStudy" (http://mystudy.uni-lueneburg.de), looking for a adequate PHP-Framework. Cakephp seems to be nice but we are not sure about the performance. myStudy in peaks it has about 500 impressions at same time, 8000 active User and especially in the begining of terms, there is high traffic and database-load, which is not too high but might be with a framework... (we 've got 1 high-perfomance Server)
Another framework, which seems more reliable and high-performance is the Zend-Framework. Is the performance of the Zend-Framework high enough to serve Projekts like ours? The second thing seems to be more crucial: What about the compatibility for next versions... because the Zend-Framework still seems to be beta (0.2)? What ist the date for the Version 1.0? If we start now with Zend-FW and with that we gain higher productivity which might loses with the modifikations we have to do for compatibility in further Versions... Are there any intentions to alter the basic MVC-concept and file-architecture of Zend-FW 1.0 in particular? Maybe you have some answers or advices. Best regards Malte myStudy-Team
