Hello,

We are going to start a big test project with over 5000 days of work and 50 workers over one year period.

We have somes generals questions :

- What are the major problem with Mantis if there is ?
- Function missing compare to other trackers
- Database sizing for the disk space with 5mg limit to upload and about 5000 bug reported ??

Thanks for reponding rapidly
Martin

You shouldn't have any problems with Mantis with regards scalability. A project with 50 users and 5000 bugs would be considered small. I would just recommend that you keep the attachments on disk rather than in the database.

As for the missing feature, you can check out the list of features on the following page and decide if you require a feature that is missing. Mantis has a rich feature set:

Mantis is typically used with MySQL and MS SQL who scale very well.

Why would you recommend this? Do you think there is a problem with lots of BLOBs in a (mysql-) database?

I fear putting attachments on disk opens the door for data inconsistency, as referencing external resources from a database always is..
