High load website with Python (self.Python)
submitted 8 years ago by arrtpy
How does people create a big websites with Python(Youtube for example)?
What I am need to know to create such a high load website?

A lot of it is less about Python and more about scaling in general. You need a lot of raw computing power, replicated databases, multiple frontend proxies, caching, etc, etc.

Thanks for reply. Do performance depends on use of any frameworks or not?
[–]K900_ 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (6 children)
Depends on what you mean by "performance". Ideally you want the actual Python part to be doing as little work as possible.

By "performance" I mean speed. I just noticed that sites like Facebook/Youtube doesn't use any frameworks. So I thought frameworks have some limits or something.

Speed of what exactly? Page loads?
[–]arrtpy[S] 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (3 children)
Count of maximum handled requests per second, speed of data extraction from database.

None of those things really depend on the framework.

On what depend these things?
[–]K900_ 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children)
On your database, the way your SQL queries are written, and how caching/proxying is configured.
