Groovy or django

Question

I never created a site with high traffic, so I have no idea what the best long-term plan is. There is no dedicated dedicated server in the budget. I am currently using VPS hosting for my current site. I was going to stick to VPS and migrate grails. I looked at Django and python plans (which look cheaper than VPS plans), for example from fatcow.com. What is better than investing, grails through VPS hosting or django through a standard python hosting plan? What will have the best performance in the short and long term?

The front of the application is javafx, and the backend will be a REST interface.

Answer 1

I went through the same process as you before deciding to use django. I am a Java programmer during the day and I want to have a pet project that I can do in my free time. Thus, I got myself a VPS with the cheapest plan. I installed the Java server and deployed the Grails application, but it turns out it needs a lot of memory. Then I realized that Java Webapp requires a lot of memory to work. So I went looking for a non-Java structure. At that time, I did not have many criteria, except that it could work on my current VPS plan.

I took a look at django and I was amazed that:

• It is so simple and easy to get started. It creates only a small number of files (compared to Grails).
• This has many built-in functions that Grails does not have:
  • RSS feed structure
  • ( , ).
  • webby,
• ,

My 2 cents: go with Python and Django. Skip Scala. Take Lisp seriously.
