Re: 5th Most Trafficked Site Switches to BlueDragon
While I don't doubt that BD may be faster than CFMX, I simply cannot see BD as a better product. I've found it to have a significantly higher number of bugs than CFMX, and while many of these bugs wouldn't affect many developers, they're still bugs, which indicates some kind of problems in the development process (lack of comprehensive regression testing, for example). I should also clarifiy by saying that I've only ever run the standalone (Java-based) server, not the ..NET server, but from my understanding, the two are VERY similar. So as long as you can dodge the bugs, BD is definitely a candidate. But I suspect the time spent dodging bugs would more then pay for a couple extra servers, particularly with developing a large project, let alone the maintenance phase. Note that I don't want to be little NA in any way. They're doing a fantastic job competing in a market that is utterly stacked against them. And while they do a lot of things I could wish MM to do (be massively receptive to use feedback, provide a free edition, etc.), their core product is somewhat inferior in some ways. cheers, barneyb On 6/28/05, Rey Bango [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a huge coup, my boys at New Atlanta have won a MAJOR deal and are helping MySpace.com, the fifth most heavily trafficked web site on the Internet,make the switch from Macromedia ColdFusion 5.0 to New Atlanta's BlueDragon for .NET.

RE: 5th Most Trafficked Site Switches to BlueDragon
My only concern with this statement is that CFMX 6.1 or 7 would probably show similar increases over CF 5. Comparing Blue Dragon to CF 5 is kind of an unfair comparison.

Re: 5th Most Trafficked Site Switches to BlueDragon
I don't think it's flaweddepending upon interpretation. They said that BD ran significantly faster than CF 5. They also said that it showed better stability and performance than CFMX. That last part is what's subject to interpretation. My interpretation is that they evaluated CFMX (and BD) before deciding upon BD based upon the fact that it showed better stability and performance. I'm further inferring that the code used to test/compare was similar...otherwise you're right, and it's not necessarily a fair/valid comparison. Maybe Vince or somebody from NA (if they're at liberty to do so) can further elaborate on how MySpace.com came to the conclusions that BD was the better/more stable product.

RE: 5th Most Trafficked Site Switches to BlueDragon
MySpace did evaluate CFMX, before BlueDragon even, and found that CFMX performance and stability didn't match BlueDragon.NET. If you're at CFUNITED, come to the New Atlanta/MySpace keynote address this Friday afternoon. Peter Amiri, Director of Technical Operations for MySpace, will talk in more detail about their decision to go with BlueDragon. BTW, there are many other companies who have been evaluating and deploying BlueDragon.NET over the past few months. All consistently tell us that the performance and reliability are better than CFMX in real-world applications. In fact, the very first customer to deploy on BlueDragon.NET switched from CFMX.

RE: 5th Most Trafficked Site Switches to BlueDragon
Did they switch from 5 to BD or from MX to BD? I would assume that they setup test servers for both MX and BD Also, stability can often be based on the quality of the coding itself I agree, performance too. I *assume* that for a benchmark test they would have written some decent code and then used that, as well as testing their existing site...

RE: 5th Most Trafficked Site Switches to BlueDragon
All of their tests were done using the exact same CFML code in their production environment. These were real world tests--as real as it gets--these were not lab benchmarks. (Nobody has a lab that can generate the kind of traffic they get in production).

They said that BD ran significantly faster than CF 5. They also said that it showed better stability and performance than CFMX. That last part is what's subject to interpretation. My interpretation is that they evaluated CFMX (and BD) before deciding upon BD based upon the fact that it showed better stability and performance. I'm further inferring that the code used to test/compare was similar...otherwise you're right, and it's not necessarily a fair/valid comparison. Maybe Vince or somebody from NA (if they're at liberty to do so) can further elaborate on how MySpace.com came to the conclusions that BD was the better/more stable product.

Anyone can write a lab benchmark to get any result they want. That's why you should never trust lab benchmarks, especially from vendors (even New Atlanta, which is why we never publish any).

RE: 5th Most Trafficked Site Switches to BlueDragon
The part that caught my eye was that in their testing, MySpace saw a 50% performance improvement over ColdFusion 5.0 as well as better stability and performance than even CFMX. Did they also try CFMX7? Its apparently faster more stable than CFMX 6.x. -- Damien McKenna - Web Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Limu Company - http://www.thelimucompany.com/ - 407-804-1014 #include stdjoke.h ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: 5th Most Trafficked Site Switches to BlueDragon
I have some serious doubts that it is ranked the #5 most viewed website. Where is that ranking coming from? For those not in the know, mySpace is basically liveJournal (a blog) and Friendster (community/networking) all in one. If you are single and under the age of 25, you've most likely been on a date with someone you met on mySpace. I think that is the best way to sum it up. -Adam On 6/28/05, Bryan Stevenson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i just heard of it the other day... so it is possible for some not to have heard of it...

Re: 5th Most Trafficked Site Switches to BlueDragon
This is one of those things that make you want to place your head on the ground and get a running start before kicking it across the room. I had a client with a project VERY SIMILAR to myspace.com a few years ago who wanted to offer me a substantial share of ownership in return for building it and I didn't really feel like it was worth getting involved in. My reluctance was, in part, due to the fact that it was to be a paid-only site with no free access, but was also due to an overall skepticism about whether the idea was viable in and of itself. Now I look back and wonder why I didn't jump all over it and do all I could to talk the guy into going the free access route. Oh well, who needs boatloads of cash anyway, right??? --Ferg Burns, John D wrote: Actually, the teens and stuff are going crazy.

Hell, the company that I work for sends us emails (We're in the News!), which i get excited about...until I pull up the link and it's a press release. Hey, it says we're wonderful! Of course it's going to say we're wonderful.
