14000+ entries what too think about
Development and Programming
Hi!
I’m going to have about 14000+ entires (products) in my EE (2) site. Is there any special I should think about? Caching (Have some knowledge of memcache)? Load balacing? Is EE even capable of handling this or is drupal (7) the way to go?
Any overall tips regarding scaling and data handling in EE is much appreciated.
Best,
Max
There are a lot more variables you have to look at than simply having a DB with 14,000 entries. You have caching. How you build the site (how many queries are involved in the way you build.) There are lots of caching add-ons for EE.
Basically, do the same things you be doing with any other dynamic system.
You shouldn’t have much of an issue with 14,000 entries, from a content standpoint. However as John mentioned, I would keep a close eye on caching. I would also keep a close eye on how you build out the templates and the number of queries that are being used to display a given page on the site. If you find that the number of queries is getting pretty high for a given page, I would look at using the query module (or another way to build out a portion of the page) to bring the overall queries down.
I would also make sure you host it with an adequate host.
