I've been holding off posting this for a while for commercial reasons...
At the company I work for we filter email for spam (and viruses). At the end of 2002 I was tasked with developing a system for quarantining spam, and providing a web UI for displaying said spam to the user. Now this has to scale, as we have nearly 3 million users.
Needless to say I built it in AxKit, and it has been running for over 6 months now (and has even been stable for a few of those months!).
The advantages AxKit has brought have been worthwhile IMHO:
- Easy to change the look and feel
- Easy to add internationalisation (we now support 4 languages I think, with more on the way)
- Guaranteed not to be vulnerable to cross site scripting due to use of XML
- Good performance
Downsides are obvious too:
- Hard to find developers who know AxKit
- XSP is hard for most developers to "get", and doesn't work as well as it should
- Memory consumption is a pain
Anyway, just wanted to share this as a very large scale AxKit installation success story. Oh, and the guy who's now working on it wants to move onto C# projects, so if you're looking for an AxKit job in the west of England we'd probably be interested.
Matt.
