content type for heavy traffic driven website
Hi guys,
What you feel about choosing CCK for heavy traffic driven website?
Or is it better to make our own content type?
plus point of using CCK is that it will take very less time to setup & ready to use but my main concern is that can CCK support a website which gets 1-2 million hits a day.
Your inputs will greatly help in taking this decision.
Thanks in advance,

Can anyone recommend a server setup?
Hi,
We need our www.projectstars.com site to run a lot faster than it is at the moment and wondered if anyone with experience could advise us on a good option for upgrading from our current virtual server. We're using memcache, block caching, and general drupal caching but as most of the site is dynamic I'm guessing that having a fast database server would help.

RFC: Best practices for managing indexes (particularly on cck tables)
As a site goes live and we do performance tweaking and benchmarking one of the common results is adding database indexes. I post this into the CCK group since one of the common sources of slow queries is for queries against the CCK tables. For example, a site that has a block that queries a field table to look for information about that field for every page load can quickly make its way into the slow query log. Adding an index to the field is likely to be the best solution.

Multiple Memcache Instances Keeping Pace with each other?
Let's say you've got a site that you're taking into a phase that will have lots of traffic.
Let's say you've decided to centralize on a single database machine.
Let's say you have many load balanced web servers on the front end.
Let's say you're considering putting a memcache on each of the front ends, and taking advantage of the fact that it can be configured to write to the DB, and read from the memcache.
What about the issue that as soon as you have a write to the DB, most of your memcaches are now out of date?
