Jamroom for Review website
Using Jamroom
msultani:
Hello Paul,
Thanks for the response, I will send an email with the site url to you. I used Jamroom about 10 years ago, and I remember my site had limitations at that time with about 60,000 users and Brian was aware of it. As you are aware review sites use Geolocation and also displays maps of the business on their page. Is there an option available for Jamroom that allows this. As you mentioned dedicated servers are the only options for us right now and I have other software installed for Apache to speed up a few things, which I don't know if it is an option with Jamroom, like Cassandra, and few more.
Thanks
Amin
Hi Amin - and welcome back to Jamroom
JR does not use Cassandra - it uses MySQL (although I would recommend Percona or MariaDB 10.1 instead for maximum performance). We also have a MemSQL plugin that is in development that might work for you if it turns out the performance on specific datastores is not high enough.
JR has a Geo Location module, so that should not be an issue, but note that it does NOT support Geo Fencing or radius searches currently.
One million entries in a Jamroom DataStore will work just fine, but does depend on the number of "search" parameters used to generate a list. In this instance we would want to limit our search to one or two search conditions max - any more and the query is going to be very slow.
If you can provide more details on how your business locations are presented, that will give us a better idea if JR would be a good fit.
Hope this helps!
