Re: System requirements

Thank you.

It's the age old problem between management and development. I'd say develop on a small server, and then test how far it can go. But someone wants to know _now_.

Everything depends on what your service needs to do, how many visitors you have, and how fast they need a response.

While writing your software, you should always keep in mind the load you expect/dream for, and make sure you are prepared to add whatever solutions are necessary to handle increasing load. Prepare yourself by collecting performance metrics for your software and your hardware, and define what response times your visitors should expect.

Know where your hot spots are and what you can do to solve them. As real-world traffic starts coming in, look at your metrics. To increase performance, you can either improve your software or add hardware. The former is expensive in salary, the latter is expensive in invoices.
