Gostaria de dar as boas-vindas ao André Lopes que se junta à equipa de consultores Java da RUPEAL!
O André é recém-licenciado em Engenharia Informática de Castelo Branco! Passou com distinção na nossa “no asshole rule” e brilhou nos nossos testes técnicos internos. É o mais recente membro a integrar a nossa equipa de outsourcing em Java e encontra-se num projecto na àrea de telecomunicações a trabalhar com Weblogic!
Old, but brilliant post.
They still think they can write software in house. Maybe they can, by the standards of the desktop world. But that world ended a few years ago.
Just came across with this article about RoR scaling issues.
Some quotes:
“When it comes to handling massive HTTP traffic, you can scale a Rails application horizontally just like any other by replicating your front-end web servers behind a load balancer. There’s nothing about Rails that makes this more difficult than with any other technology.”
So if you don’t know how to scale with Java, C# or whatever you’re using… it’s useless to point your finger to RoR.
“There’s a lot of different things that can slow down a web application. Rails makes it easy to get your application running without worrying about any of the performance issues, and that’s a good thing. If you ignore everything about performance tuning, you’ll still have a working application, and from there you can tune. There’s little point in tuning for performance before you have something that is successful for a small group of people. And if you focus on building an optimally scalable site and end up late to market as a result, you’ll have achieved nothing.”
Bottom line: Build traffic first, worry about performance later. Comments?
