[Zope-dev] Massive scalability

[Michael Bernstein]

I am currently planning two separate 'Archive' type
projects/Products. In both cases, I need to make sure that
my implementation will scale to hundreds of thousands or
even millions of objects.
In one project the objects are very simple ZClasses with a
few attributes, in the other project, the objects will be
instances of the Photo Product, and considerably larger.

One implementation I'm considering is a simple Specialist
with a Rack. Does anyone know if there are any inherent
limitations on the number of objects that can be stored in a
Rack? are there any performance limitations at the scale
that I'm talking about?

The other implementation I'm considering is to create a
ZClass that inherits from ZCatalog and Btree Folder. Would
this approach run into any scalability problems with the
number and type of objects I'm talking about?

Thanks,

Michael Bernstein.
