Re: [Zope] How big a site can Zope handle?

From: "Chris McDonough" <chrism@zope.com>

This is a highly subjective question and depends entirely on how the software that does the discussion system is written and what persistence mechanism it uses. There is no general answer. The answer (and I've found this out the hard way) is to do testing of your software before you put it in to production. Zope as a platform can support high transaction rates. The rest is up to you.

So, the question is really then: "How do I make my software support a large amount of concurrent posts?" :-) I'm not 100% sure what you mean with "persistence mechanisms". I was first and foremost thinking about just storing things in ZODB, and not using an external DB if that's what you are referring too.
