Under heavy load, CodeIgniter performed admirably! - El Forum - 05-11-2011

One of our clients just recently did a major marketing/PR initiative that drove 1.3 Million visitors to the CodeIgniter-powered website in one day. The website was powered by CodeIgniter 1.7.x (moving to 2.x soon) and performed flawlessly.
I just wanted to let you guys know that CI is most certainly enterprise-level as we proved it that day. We had to tweak Apache and MySQL to handle the server load, but CI never skipped a beat.
In case anyone's interested, we're under an F5 load balancer pushing traffic to one physical web server and one cloud web server. We have a massive dedicated DB server on yet another box.
Good job CI!

Awesome thanks for sharing this, I love to hear things like this... More folks should know about this because I've seen debates and questions asked about CI's overall ability to handle a heavy load.
I setup nginx+php-fpm and mysql on a server with 1 gig of ram in the cloud for a client and it can handle 12000 requests per second, in fact in the first 7 days it had nearly 6 million hits after their re-launch.
Considering that Nginx powers several high-visibility sites, such as WordPress, Hulu, Github, Ohloh, SourceForge and TorrentReactor. And scaling's a piece of cake.
