Re: Swampdragon, the realtime framework for Django seems interesting. But will it scale ?

You should be able to load balance SwampDragon (though I haven't actually tried this out yet).

I ran some simple tests with 300 connections to a small linode instance, where I subscribed over 300 users (I think it was in the realms of 500 but I don't have the results anymore).
I had each subscribed connection push a message (so each connection sent one message and received as many messages as there were connections) and it held up fine.
The tests are probably rather inconclusive, but it was pretty quick and there was no problems.

It was also #4 on Hacker news a few days ago and it held up under the load. There were over 6,000 users (I think it was close to 6,400 users) across that day playing around with the chat demo.
I honestly doubt that 6,000 users using it at the same time would hold up though (it is a small server).

But let's say you build a site with SwampDragon, and you get on average 200 users using it per hour, and that would be consistent across a whole day (you would have peaks and dips of course), that would be 4,800 users a day. If you get 4,800 users a day you are doing pretty well.
