I've had some discussions with Kevin Turner of Coraltree about their
Renaissance framework. Their architecture pairs CGIDEV2 programs with
business logic servers and uses data queues to communicate between the
two. CGI programs handle browser I/O while business logic servers
handle database I/O and business logic.
Their architecture allows developers to continue using CGIDEV2 while
addressing scalability concerns in the event that you're hosting a lot
of concurrent users, but the business logic servers support multiple
concurrent users and save & restore state in conjunction with each
request. They don't launch a separate server job for each user.
