Hi there I''ve got the following question to you: Is Ruby on Rails the right choice for re-building a large community (a few 1000 users)? What about performance of Ruby on Rails? Is it fast enoght? (I tried build the community with PRADO (a PHP-Framework) before, but the performance wasn''t good enought). What about the flexibility of ruby on rails?

That''s like asking if a car goes fast enough to get you between two cities in one hour. Depends on the car, depends on the distance between cities, depends on the driver. Depends on the code and server, depends on the community requirements, depends on the programmer. I''m not trying to be flip with you. You''ve just asked as question that''s impossible for anyone on this list to answer. Rails can be fast. Rails can be flexible. But it''s not a magic pill. You will run into performance problems and pain points, and you''ll have to work through them just like you would with any language or framework. Rails is also alive and changing (very much so). So "the performance" of Ruby on Rails is a constantly moving benchmark.

Basically what I was going to say. I also don''t really think a few 1000 users constitutes a large community, but that is relative. Twitter has something like 300,000 users and is built with Rails, maybe that answers part of your question?

Which car is faster BMW or Mercedes? :P -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
