Hi,
I have a moodle website, running on apache2 server. 15000 student
going to participate quiz in moodle at the same time. Can apache2
serve 15000 requests?. what are the ways available?
If feasible it is better to switch from moodle (if you do not require other
functionality of moodle except quiz) and create a custom tool, may be
something around node.js (with nginx as webserver as suggested by others)
or anything that scale well even with less resources.
certainly there are many people on this list can be of help but the
messages are so cryptic as though trying to hide some details and still get
some free help , anyway i have looked around Khanacademy code last year and
now Course builder specifically not to land into these kind of
scaling/maintenance issues , but the flip side is we have to pay Google for
there services and getting ourselves locked in there Environment . I am
also looking at p2pu.org code base as an alternative .
one idea is if the work is of not for profit nature then Google can give
certain credits.
