Re: Scaling django (nginx + apache + mod_wsgi + postgresql)

Hi there,

maybe you're right, but I'm not really worried about RAM footprint, or
resources consumption. I'm concerned now on architecture, setting a
right scalable system, and a right cluster of systems, without lacks of
communications between them.

Underlaying technologies can be easily replaced (say apache-mod_wsgi for
gunicorn or uwsgi), and some performance improvements can be made, but
this is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the tools to generate
a robust system, balancing requests through several systems, and
allowing increase the size of this system (adding more servers) without
trouble.

Cheers,

Isaac
