Scaling Drupal: Not IF... HOW
This post was originally posted on the Phase2 Blog.
What do Fast Company, The Big Money, The Onion, Lifetime Television, SonyBMG, Flex.org, DressupChallenge.com, and NowPublic have in common?
All are popular sites, some with traffic of a million or more pageviews a day. But there's more.
They all run on Drupal.
Some people still ask if Drupal can scale. We say, "It's not a question of IF, but HOW".
Come and hear how we scale sites like myLifetime.com, TheBigMoney.com, and DressUpChallenge.com.
Thanks to all those that braved the early morning to attend our session at Drupalcon DC. We think it was a good warm-up for the full track of excellent performance and scaling sessions on Thursday. See you next year!
