Web-framework+db with the widest scalability?

[Alec Taylor]

Disclosure: I have posted this on stackoverflow and comp.lang.python.

I am building a project requiring high performance and scalability, entailing:

• Role-based authentication with API-key licensing to access data of specific users
• API exposed with REST (XML, JSON), XMLRPC, JSONRPC and SOAP
• "Easily" configurable getters and setters to create APIs accessing the same data but with input/output in different schemas

A conservative estimate of the number of tables—often whose queries require joins—is: 20.

Which database type—e.g.: NoSQL or DBMS—key-value data store or object-relational database—e.g.: Redis or PostgreSQL—and web-framework—e.g. Django, Web2Py or Flask—would you recommend?

Thanks for all suggestions

I've responded on stackoverflow.

The brief summary: The bullet point description you have provided
would adequately describe just about any data-backed web site on the
planet with an API. You haven't provided anywhere near enough detail
to provide meaningful recommendations.

There is no silver bullet. Work out your requirements, and pick the
tool or tools that suit those requirements. The answer won't always be
the same.

Yours,
