Can cherrypy handle say 5,000 requests a minute for an eCommerce website?

Question

I know this question is one step above 'how can I speed up my website' but I've looked around at sites powered by cherrypy and didn't find any eCommerce sites. We began working on a demo website using cherrypy and jinja2 as a proof of concept before we begin a rewrite of our current site. So maybe others have tried and could save us the attempt if in fact it is not feasible. Thanks, Andrew

Answer 1

3 per minute? Heck, it could do that from my netbook. 5,000 per minute? Yes, with a little load balancing. 5,000 per second would be a stretch.
