Does anyone have any metrics regarding scalability? I have a client who proposes to put as many as 350 book chapters up on a site. Could CMS Builder handle this amount of content? I assume that MySQL would impose a limit as well?

Hi ispro,
We've seen CMSB sites handle over 100 hits per second and 100,000+ records in a table.
But as with any app there will be issues as you scale up to very high traffic or data volume. Usually the first few ones you hit will be related to your web host and the limits they impose or the configuration of your server.
For the most part, though, you'll be fine and don't need to worry about those issues until they come up - because that almost never do. And if they do, we can give you some tips on optimizing your code and database if needed.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions about that.
