Howdy everyone! 

 

would you use IWP to publish a database of 350.000 records to cca. 500 industrial clients?

We do not expect more than, at most, 100 users connected at one time.

 

All the dedicated solutions (OpenCart, Presto etc...) seem to follow different logic (ie. one catalog file, limited b2b and custom pricing options). Our database is largish (although only text) but the load shouldn't be too much so we could do a lot of the customization and integration with our in-house solution.

 

Is it doable? Reliable? Wise to do so?

 

Many thanks for any comments.

Start here to get an understanding of what works and does not work in IWP:

It does not behave like FMP and it does not quite behave like a regular website so make sure to test thoroughly.

 

FileMaker Server advanced can only support 100 concurrent sessions so if you're user base would grow you can not grow with them unless you abandon IWP.

Thanks for your time and answer.

 

I wasn't aware of the 100 users limitation of IWP so i guess we will go for the full web solution with PHP and stuff.
