Does Django Scale?

I'm interested in using Django to put together a web site, but an important component of that web site will be an API that I expose through web services. Although there won't be many hits on the server initially, let's pretend that they will start rolling in faster and faster. Does Django scale well, or at some point will I soon have to replace the Django web service with something more heavy duty?

    See the KeyNote at DjangoCon 2008 by Cal Henderson (from Flick) for specific scalability tools that are not part of Django. The rest mostly depends on your actual implementation. Most of what makes a website fast is *not* the server-side scripts. Specifically: cache, cache, cache. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6Fr65PFqfk – André Caron Dec 12 '10 at 23:07

  • @Bill thank you, I've been wondering what the proper etiquette is – JnBrymn Dec 13 '10 at 04:02
  • @WoLpH - I watched a couple of minutes of that and it looked interesting. Thanks. – JnBrymn Dec 13 '10 at 04:05
