Hi
The application has two characteristics:
1. DB access intensive - almost everypage has data fetching and a lot of
tables
2. Real-time monitor - many pages have real-time interaction with a
back-end server using AJAX.
Budget is small so I can't afford a large cluster of Apache server, but
high availability is still required.
I have done a lot of work with PHP before, but I feel Lua is lighter and
can be more scalable for what my application.
If your application has to be real-time and to scale very well then I
suggest you to try Erlang/YAWS/Mnesia or to go with a compiled language.
(Read this article http://www.dotpas.org/cgi-bin/articles/a01)
You can find about Erlang, YAWS and Mnesia here:
Erlang -> http://www.erlang.org
YAWS -> http://yaws.hyber.org
Mnesia is a distributed real-time database server and it is part of
Erlang/OTP.
However Lua is very nice and good to write extensions and for small web
applications. Personally, I will never use a scripting language for a
big project of any kind.
