Scalability Of Yii

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Hi everyone, I am new to Yii and to the forum.

My question which I am having an issue in finding an answer to is not very simple at all but I would like to discuss it in more detail here instead of posting on the stackexchange network. I imagine there are more Yii experts here than on there :)

[list=1]

[*]How scalable is Yii and is it able to cope in a stressful multi-user environment with a lot of read/write actions to databases.

[*]What is the best database option in a heavy use scenario?

[/list]

I hope the question is not too vague, but I can see that it could be argued as being vague. I am merely trying to form a comparison between it and other frameworks. Thanks!

Well, it’s enough to answer your question regarding Yii’s scalability with a sure-footed “perhaps.” :) I think what will strike you most is the fact that there is no built-in mechanism in Yii for DB failover configurations or split read/write support. So if you’d like to scale out db-wise, you’ll be forced to install a proxy solution for your database system.

It would be interesting to hear a bit more about your requirements.
