Re: Fat CakePHP

@gremlin totally on target!

There is nothing I'd like to add after the discussion went this way, but It is really, really, really important to have a nice uplink speed for your development.
I for example have a 2 fiber optical connection coming in to my home office and it costs me next to nothing (something like $8-9/mo) for 50Mbps down- and up- links.
Đ¢his enables me to have a very good connection and keeps my clients satisfied. @gremlin's solution with the Git pulls for the Cake Cores on the server is, in my opinion, the best that you cna do for your deployments. For example we I have some client servers on a Backbone between Europe and North America in Amsterdam and I can tell you that connectivity (hops) is amazing.

Even using the worst hosting in the world you still should only ever have to upload the core one time. If you have to wait 5 minutes for your isp to move the files to the remote server each time then you are uploading your app and a fresh copy of the core every time you update the site? That is an issue of bad workflow and sloppy development more than any bandwidth issue.

Second, if you care about being professional with your development you could perhaps invest in digital cable? Learn to keep your core as a submodule and use git on your hosting provider so that you can issue a pull request and update the core at the speed of their network instead of your own. It also helps with keeping your (small by comparison) app files separate and easily uploadable/git pullable as it's own package. Anyone who complains that they have to upload the whole cake package for every site update is advertising to the world that their development cycle is stuck using 90's methodologies.
