Anything can be your bottleneck. Fix one bottleneck, find the next one. That said, databases are often the bottleneck. And with web apps, "the speed of your server-side programming language" is almost never the bottleneck - although the architectural limitations of your framework may be.
- asark 7y agoI've seen a lot of cases where "the speed of your server-side programming language" was, in fact, the problem—because the developer was doing stuff in it that they should have told their DB to do for them. Basically the speed of the server-side programming language doesn't matter only as long as you're very careful not to, you know, use it to do anything. Which is a realistic goal in many applications, by leaning on one or more DBs more heavily.
