If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Today we finally launched fav.or.it. For those who have not been following our exploits for long we have been developing using Zend Framework on PHP, in fact we started using it at around version 0.6 and have worked through the problems as it has grown and evolved.

We have had our issues with performance as we got closer to launch but this is always a risk when using a complex framework built by others, you take a lot of granted and enjoy the speed in which you can build things. But there are always downsides but they are ones we we are happy to have taken, as we have built a massive product with a tiny team (3 developers!).

Now we have launched I really hope it will free my time up much more to start blogging properly and also to start documenting a lot of the framework code that we have extended and give it back to the community. We have built a large raft of performance related code for doing a lot of caching within web 2.0 apps. We have also built our own RESTful library which IMHO is much more powerful than the zend one and also much much faster.

Please do go try out fav.or.it and see what we have built!

    a) Congrats! Launching things is hard :)
    b) I second the comments from the ZF team. I am sure a bunch of us could use a great RESTful library :)
    c) So, what were the performance bottlenecks! I would love to know!
