We now can easily support 30K simultaneous users signed in with no problem. After a few more optimizations we should be able to double and triple our load, without even adding any more hardware. We currently have about 300M posts on the site, with a few million more being added every day. Our site is now refactored and fine tuned, but the real trick to getting the most bang for your buck is to segregate the data into distinct services and build infrastructure that will allow you to transparently distribute the data load out across your servers. Divide and conquer! I am a developer at gaiaonline.com and i am here to tell you that php scales. We now can easily support 30K simultaneous users signed in with no problem.

What I find here in India is that PHP still is considered as a simple Script tech. they consider php is unable to compete with J2EE which IS a more advanced.. but consider the Learning curve is far more sharp for J2EE and I don't need to say anything about my Love PHP :) But yes PHP still needs more application like variable stuff... which is required if you want same set of variables, values over an application... Anyways... PHP is still Ruling. I still work in PHP (more than a yr. now) .

I'd like to know which one would give better performance in high load application between PHP, JSP or ASP.NET... But I think any of them installed on a Unix server will be better than a Windows one.
