WebAlchemy accelerates Django in 100 times

November 18, 2007

With WebAlchemy only pages involved in form processing are served directly by Django, the rest of the pages most of the time are served directly by Apache as static content with static content speed. In other words for Django-powered site it's possible to achieve speed about 2000 request/sec, against about 500 request/sec with memcached and about 20 request/sec for "typical" (10 fast SQL queries) page without caching at all. Actual performance results of course will vary from server/application/configuration.
