- timewarrior 10y agoIf you build stateless horizontally scalable service (and you should) - you are almost always going to be blocked on DB. On the app server front you just keep adding more machines behind load balancer. As I look back, if we had used RoR or Python we might have moved faster with no negative impact on scale. We would have spent more money on extra servers though!
