[Zope3-Users] Importing Lots of Objects

[David Johnson]

Thanks.

The basic use cases are as follows:

Shoppers can "browse products by category"
Shoppers can "search for products"
Shoppers can "add products to cart"
Merchants can "import product lists from Excel/Text file"
Merchants can "manually edit products"

We expect to service 1M purchase transactions a year, and expect to service
1000 merchants.

This depends likely on _your_ usecases. Data can be stored in a RBDMS, in 
the filesystem, in the ZODB...every storage has its pros and cons..without
knowing your usecases there is only guessing what might be best for you.
