Just how scalable is Grails?

Question

I\'m looking to make a website that will probably get some heavy, repetitive traffic. Is grails up to the task?

Answer 1

Don't mean to pile on here. You've already got some great answers but I just want to add on thing that I was reminded of recently. Scalability depends not only on the software you write (regardless of language/framework) but also on the deployment environment. A very well written application deployed on an undersized or poorly configured server will not scale at all. If you do use Grails or any other Java based framework, the default settings on your container (Tomcat, JBoss, etc.) will probably not be what you need.

Just something to keep in mind, Dave
