I read a great article in a tech mag a year or so back about Ebay's infrastructure. It was mind boggling. They have 3 major data centers across the country each able to run the entire site at 55% performance. So any two up at one time provides 110% performance. All three give incredible performance. Very impressive. They are the benchmark for global web based systems.
Agree with the above. Java is not going anywhere, and it is a viable, scalable option for ANY size project.
Example implementation: EBAY -- They are arguably the world's most heavily used software application. What platform do they run on? J2EE (Java).
Could you imagine using.NET? You would probably have to reboot the servers every night at midnight to keep those things up and running with that kind of volume.
