Scalability with Rails and Django

Posted by Ian Holsman Fri, 14 Jul 2006 21:10:59 GMT

Some folks benchmarked Symfony, Ruby on Rails and Django. 

Check it out here:  Performance Benchmarks

I dont particularly care which  framework (django or rails) is fastest, I don’t think it’s going to change a person’s mind on which to use. 

I also think both are good enough to get the job done and other factors like your app design will limit you way before your framework will.

but Django’s choice to go in process and use modpython looks to have paid off in this case.

but what did surprise me was how poorly PHP and lightty performed. 

<shameless plug>Perfmon </shameless plug> can help you find your django bottlenecks

    interesting.

    the fact that php performs poorly shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has used it. apparently, ease of use (and i use “ease” loosely) and widespread availability is way more important than good performance. (who would’ve thunk?)

    but seriously, i’m not sure it’s even fair to compare php with proper frameworks like rails or django.
