Which engine to choose to create a loaded social network?

Question

CMS

I am designing the creation of some kind of social network with a potential large load, a la YouTube. Tell me what you can take for the basis, so as not to write from scratch?

Answer 1

Custom solution for django

Answer 2

In order not to write from scratch, take frameworks as the basis. CMS - definitely not suitable for creating highly loaded social networks.

Answer 3

You need to hire a good architect to calculate the load.
And then - to choose already the tool.
1. Zephir - for creating native PHP extensions.
2. Hack(HHVM) - for a fast working solution on PHP-like code.

Answer 4

There are no such drives. Only from scratch.

Answer 5

From scratch in Go lang.
