[Seaside] I need success stories

[Boris Popov]

We have build a horizonally scalable system by putting F5 routers in front of X number of Seaside instances with a SQL Server backend. BIG-IP offloads SSL, caches all static resources and load balances using sticky sessions. Computing cycles and RAM are cheap, so I suspect getting a respectable throughput is just a matter of adding more gateways in the back, but don't quite have the numbers yet.

Cheers!

Howdy,

I almost have a business partner convinced to give Seaside a try for an 
upcoming web project.  However,  although I love the ideas behind the 
technology, and I would love to use Smalltalk on a real paying gig, I 
have a deep fear that if we get heavy traffic the system wouldn't keep up.

So, does anyone on this list have experience using Seaside in a high 
traffic scenario.  I'm talking 200+ hits per second at least.  How did 
it handle the load?  What sort of hardware did you choose?  What load 
balancing?  What database?
