Hi We are setting up a web storefront and I have come across Zope towards the end of a long and frustrating evaluation process. To be frank, when you get up close most application servers just don't cut it. ColdFusion, for example, seems to have some serious reliability problems. Until I spotted Zope, I was pretty much resigned to a belt-and-braces solution with Perl/Velocigen or Tcl/AolServer. Not an easy route, but at least it would be reliable. Compared to raw coding, a Python/Zope/Apache/Solid solution looks attractive, to say the least. But at this relatively early stage in its development, can Zope truly deliver? So a plea to you folks who are actually using Zope 2 in a production setting - is it fast enough and stable enough for us to (literally) bet our house on? It will be running unattended on a remote server (probably Linux). We are planning a niche storefront site which will probably get modest traffic of around 50,000 hits a day with around 3,000 products in the database. Zope is obviously a great product, and most people on this list will be evangelists. But I really would appreciate your objective views. If you prefer privacy, please contact me direct: geoff@productivity.co.uk. Thanks Geoff Caplan
