Is Azul Zing supported by CQ5? Also has anyone used Zing with CQ at all?

[LinearGradient]

I was reading the docs about clustering and I stumbled upon this shockingly surprising statement:

In cases where a write bottleneck is reached, additional cluster nodes will not improve performance. In such circumstances the correct strategy is to increase the hardware performance through improved CPU speed and increased memory.

In this age of cloud computing, and even years before that, scaling up is not always possible and great platforms have always supported horizontal scaling. I hope in the very near future it becomes possible to scale up CQ horizontally.

Now that aside, considering that at the moment it is not possible to scale up CQ vertically, and considering that Oracle JVM is not optimized for very large heap sizes (e.g. 64GB or 128GB), I was wondering if Zing is a supported platform and/or if Adobe can continue helping us with any issues we might encounter if we switch to Zing?

Also, has anybody here tried CQ on Zing at all? If so, could you please share your experience and thoughts?

Thanks

HI

I haven't found Azul Zing on the list of supported JVMs[0]

The documentation you might be referring would be related to crx2.  If you can plan to upgrade to aem6 can make use of oak (mongodb) to meet your need & is supported.
