Magento is great... except if you plan to sell more than 50 items per minute while sustaining a few dozen page views per second. It's near impossible to scale beyond its upper cap. 10,000's of files / classes, 100's of tables and 300+ SQL queries for coupon processing.
- DigitalSea 14y agoI think that rings true for most self-hosted eCommerce applications though (or any self-hosted application written in PHP), not just Magento. In the right hands Magento can be tuned to handle hundreds and thousands of orders a second if you want it too. If Wordpress can scale, Magento can scale too. We used it to build a large online shoe store here at my employer and it seems to handle the traffic quite well, AWS is a godsend.
