Re: Grails 1.0.1 is out

Thanks for the response. That's exactly the kind of input I was looking for. Nothing would make us happier than for our site to become as popular as amazon or eBay. But for now we would happily settle for the kind of traffic you are seeing on your site.

I guess the ability to handle load is really more dependent on the hosting hardware, the database, the web server, etc. The efficiency of GORM could be one area in question when it comes to scaling. But assuming it is acceptable, I suppose the question is whether it will be easy to implement high-customized behavior when we reach a point where we need to do that. I'm assuming the answer is yes. Convention over Configuration shouldn't mean you can't specify details when you really need to, after all.

PS: Is your site publicly viewable, and if so would it be appropriate for you to share the URL with us? I'm sure others would like to see an example of a mature site implemented in Grails. Or perhaps you could email it to me directly if you don't want that much traffic...

What do you call "a large commercial"?
I have a I grails application running in production since grails 0.6. It has 200.000 users, with 1 million page views per month.
Is this big enough? Or to you, "big" is something more like amazon, or eBay?

For me: yes, grails is stable enough for production. It is based on Spring, Hibernate, Sitemesh, and so on.... they are all stable enough IMHO.

FWIW, I'm currently evaluating Grails for development of a fairly complex web site that will potentially have a large number of users. The "45 bug fixes" thing didn't turn me off at all. I prefer candor over spin, particularly for a developer-oriented site like grails.org.

I'm still evaluating, so I can't comment on whether Grails appears mature enough at this point to use it for a large commercial application. If it's appropriate for this forum, I would be interested in hearing any thoughts people may have on the subject. I know there are a lot of developers here who want to talk nuts and bolts. So if you have comments that you think may NOT be of interest to the readers of this forum, please feel free to send them directly to: clint@....

I just see the front web page today(http://grails.org/).  I think if you say
45 bug fixes  in version 1.0.1, some people might sees this version is still
not production ready and will wait until its stable.  I like grails and hope
that many people will try this program also.

Just a suggestion, might be its better if we say something along like "
Grails 1.0.1 are updated with features from our vibrant forums... ? ".

Please pardon my english, but I think you get my meaning.

Best Regards,
