It was just a quick test using the “siege” application available on unix-based systems.

Hi David,

I was just wondering what software you used to do the siege testing with? Httperf or Apache Benchmark, for instance?

Thanks,

Mike

This is single server, that’s fairly mediocre in hardware. The only modifications to Django is our composite primary key support.

Thanks Tomek, sphinx (search) was down. We’re still having some issues with error emails and sphinx didn’t have an init.d script setup yet.

Wow, 500 req/sec on a single server?!

Have you made any special tweakings to Django or just used it in a “standard” way? We are building a project with Django and it would be nice to know how far we can get without any tricky optimizations.

Ya we launched Sunday — didn’t get those random pages up yet (they’re just intended to be Flatpages, so I’m leaving it up to someone else )
