Q: what's the threshold where it's worth switching from CGI scripts (w/flat files or simple db schema) to Rails/Django type MVC frameworks?

when adding a feature sounds far less fun than rewriting it

performance wise it'd be fine. The bigger problem is all the free features frameworks give you. But if you don't need them it's fine

What I'm playing with, all logic is js+svg, backend just persists a flat-file state barely above cookie level dumbness.

if mostly js browser-side, see BaaSes (parse, deployd up thru meteor, firebase or flask/django/rails + thin REST api pkg)

oh neat, Meteor looks like the simplest thing to do. Better than cgi definitely.

meteor = swallowing bigger pill, dependency on them… but get lots of 'liveness' great for (multiplayer) games for 'free'
