I can say a product is scalable, but what does that mean? As Brian

FTR, I don't recall talking about Morfik's scalability on this thread.

FWIW, I would bet that Morfik will be able to "scale enough" for 90% of
the sites out there. Often times, enough means just 1 server. :)

Although from their docs, I believe they do say their server is
stateless so adding a few servers, in theory, should work. And one
could scale with stateful servers anyway using something like octagate.

Regardless, I don't believe Morfik is targeting the fortune 1000 and
that's fine. I think for most companies a single server will work and
work well.

I agree and that's fine. I think the confusion stems from the fact, that my post was to inform users that it is not that difficult to do AJAX programming in general and you do not need to tie yourself into using such tools to do it.

Relaxin obviously took this as a put down, which it was not intended to be. I have seen far too many people, start with such a wizard/tool and get themselves into problems, because they do not bother to understand the technology at the basic level.
