Has Django served an excess of 100k daily visits? [closed]

by

  1. “What are the largest sites built on Django today?”

    There isn’t any single place that collects information about traffic on Django built sites, so I’ll have to take a stab at it using data from various locations. First, we have a list of Django sites on the front page of the main Django project page and then a list of Django built sites at djangosites.org. Going through the lists and picking some that I know have decent traffic we see:

  2. “Can Django deal with 100,000 users daily, each visiting the site for a couple of hours?”

    Yes, see above.

  3. “Could a site like Stack Overflow run on Django?”

    My gut feeling is yes but, as others answered and Mike Malone mentions in his presentation, database design is critical. Strong proof might also be found at www.cnprog.com if we can find any reliable traffic stats. Anyway, it’s not just something that will happen by throwing together a bunch of Django models 🙂

There are, of course, many more sites and bloggers of interest, but I have got to stop somewhere!

Blog post about Using Django to build high-traffic site michaelmoore.com described as a top 10,000 website. Quantcast stats and compete.com stats.
