Dale is giving an overview of Seaside on Gemstone - he has a great catch-phrase: "Share Everything with the scalability of a share-nothing application".
Their scaling story:
- store/share seaside session state in the repository
- deploy any number of VMs
- round robin requests without session affinity
The wall runs in at the commit rate - depending on hardware, that limit hits at 10-100 commits per second. Which is pretty good, but they say they can do better with sophisticated hardware (fast disk, cpu, etc). The big story - a Squeak Seaside app can move directly to Gemstone to take advantage of transparent persistence.
