A couple of sites I built for parts of the UK government are discussed
here:

http://virtual-worlds.biz/demonstrations/slas/
http://virtual-worlds.biz/demonstrations/nilam/

(I can't make them public because of restrictions on the data they
use, but there are some
screenshots).

Code for these is here:

My colleague Jocelyn Paine and I moved a much larger program than
these two from Linux to Windows in a couple of days, and it ran
equally well on both. (Can't show you that one yet since it's still
being tested).

Apache is likely to be much faster at serving static pages but AWS
will likely outrun a typical dynamic setup using Apache/PHP or Java or
whatever. It's actually straightforward to use both together, with
Apache serving the images, etc. and AWS doing the hard bits.

AWS is a very cool piece of code.

Ada itself can be a bit of an acquired taste, of course. You'll need
to be prepared for a bit more of a struggle with string handling,
connecting to databases and the like than if you go down the more
mainstream route.

Hope this helps,

Graham

How would AWS's dynamic performance compare against a Lisp webserver?
(Not that I would like Lisp's encouraging of dynamism where dynamism
is inappropriate.)

Excellent inputs from all. I think I will jump in and attempt to make
our site around AWS.

Thanks, srini

AWS Sites

friends

a. Are there  any internet sites running AWS - that I could browse?
b. Are there certain platforms that is friendlier for an AWS based
site than others?
c. Any comparisons vis-a-vis performance between AWS and apache?

I am considering AWS to build a site that is fairly simple (serves lot
of files) but high usage (>80K hits/day)

Anyone else care to share their experiences?

I thought adacore.com as well, but I couldn't confirm from the website.

AdaCore's GNAT Tracker is a web application built with AWS; it is
available to customers only.

You can browse: http://v2p.fr.eu.org

A Photo Critic Web site that I have built with a friend photographer. It
is based on AWS, uses the Ajax framework we have tuned while working on
this Web site.

The whole code for this Web Site is Open Source if you want to have a
look let me know I will point you to the Git repositories.

I'm working on Windows where AWS is born and I have used AWS in Debian
based OS for many years.

> c. Any comparisons vis-a-vis performance between AWS and apache?

Dmitriy Anisimkov did some measurements at some point. AWS was really
fast compared to Apache in many cases. Don't have the details now.
