Developing big data / high traffic fork website
Hi,
We have built several small websites within Fork and are very pleased with the way how Fork is made. Currently we have a client who wants a website with big data and which has high traffic on a daily basis. Is Fork capable to handle such websites? What can we expect in relation to performance?
Hope I made myself clear, thanks in advance for your reactions!
Fork CMS is used in some website's with heavy traffic, for example the Rock Werchter website (festival in Belgium). Wijs.be used Capistrano and Varnish, with Fork CMS cache optimized for Varnish I think. They use multiple servers simultaneously with shared folders (cache for example).

- Veel bezoekers op uw site? Varnish!. By the hosting company for Rockwerchter.be. They have experience with Fork CMS & Varnish.
- A couple of presentations about Varnish by Openminds: Varnish voor webbouwers (2011) and Varnish techtalk (2013)
Thanks Jesse, very interesting read! If anyone has alternative ideas or opinions, please let me know :).
