We need to use WordPress for a site that is going to have high traffic. We expect an initial load of 500K page views a month and will increase to about 8M page views a month. Usage will be mainly during working time, which is around 20 days a month during 8 hours.
We are thinking on using Google App Engine with Google Cloud SQL. We were wondering how well it scales for that kind of load. Theory says Google App Engine should scale automatically, but not sure how good is Google Cloud SQL when scaling. This will be a mostly read database, which a few writes.
So the questions are:
- Does anyone has experience deploying WordPress on Google App Engine + Google Cloud SQL with a high load?
- Do you know if there are problem installing plugins for WordPress on Google App Engine? Do they need any especial modification?
