Intraweb under load
#1
We are looking at Intraweb and considering it for a Web App that will have around 1000 users per hour. 

This will be to complete simple forms with validation and AJAX callbacks on some checkboxes for validation and flow. 

The question is:

Can Intraweb native server as a windows service cope with significant usage

I have seen elsewhere people say that the Intraweb standalone server is not really for deployment but that is contradicted by the release notes. 

Please let me know your opinions, if it is not the right solution then I am happy to look at other options. 

Thank you all for your help and assistance in advance.

That is not correct. SA can run just fine under high load, but it is slower than HTTP.sys or ISAPI. In most deployments it is not noticeable though.

IW is regularly tested under loads far higher than 1000 users per hour and any deployment method will be able to handle that including SA.

Let's make something clear: What most people call SA is actually the GUI version. Both Indy and Http.sys are stand alone applications (Http.sys only uses core services which is available in any Windows OS)

* GUI (both Indy and Http.sys) is for development and debugging (or very specific kind of applications that some users create with IW)

* Service (both Indy and Http.sys) is for production.
