Very beautiful work

Hey David, very beautiful work! I imagine to scale this out to tens of thousands of concurrent users you'd have to pin each user (or possibly each client company if they buy lots of licenses) to a particular app server?

Thank You!

Hi troutgirl, thank you for your comment!

Sorry, but I am not quite sure, if I understand your question.

We do not provide application servers. We provide the software to the customers, such that they can integrate it with their specific applications and run those applications on their servers. One license is valid for an arbitrary number of servers sharing a common domain suffix, so it can be used with some kind of server cluster, if there is heavy load.

What heavy load really is depends not only on the number of users, but also on the kind of application, the frequency and type of requests, the data which is handled and so on. Since we provide a framework it is hard to predict how many servers will be needed for a certain number of users without knowing the specific application.

Does this answer your question?
