The Importance of Scalability in the Web

I think there's a tendency because we're all driven by interesting new things. There's a tendency to add complexity for the sake of either learning it or because it's the thing to do. And yeah, I think sometimes the performance and scalability thing falls by the wayside. You know, Django is not the most scale, excuse me, not the most performance thing in the world as long as you can horizontally scale out reasonably well. Your big bottlenecks probably still going to be your database.
