Mint Forum

so i’m trying to understand the limits of mint.

i’m running mint on a new client’s website that has had its traffic increase 1500% over the last three months. i’m hoping that i can use mint for a long time on the client’s server simply because the client likes using it so much.

the question is, who here is using mint that has the largest amount of unique visitors and page views? anyone care to share?

I have 150,000+ hits daily. I use InnoDB storage and record locking using the following db.php:

class MyMint extends Mint {

    function _makeConnection() {
        $connected = parent::_makeConnection();
        if ($connected) {
            $this->query('SET AUTOCOMMIT=0');
        }
        return $connected;
    }

    function _tidySave() {
        parent::_tidySave();
        $this->query('COMMIT');
    }

    function query($query) {
        // use SELECT FOR UPDATE for locking mint__config table
        if (preg_match('/_config.*LIMIT 0,1$/', $query)) {
            $query .= ' FOR UPDATE';
        }
        return parent::query($query);
    }
}

$Mint = new MyMint (array ...

I have made some stress testing and it can hold ~600 hits per second on the semi-dedicated (2GB RAM) server (only sky is the limit ;)

Those are very nice traffic numbers congrats to tea
