I'm aware of numerous installs of hundreds of systems, and EngineYard use Chef at the core of their Solo and Flex products [1] for a growing number of customers every day. I've personally tested setups up to 100 nodes, and plan to do some large scale testing in the near future (C10k+) Leveraging a lightweight content server and shifting the compilation to clients allows for rapid dispatching of all server side controller actions. A stomp queue and seperate indexer process take care of one of the most intensive parts of the Chef server, indexing the database into Ferret for full text search. Speaking JSON all the time (especially when the C-mode driver is installed) also helps speed, stability and interaction with external (web) services.
I believe a follow up post to this has given you a link to our Community Cookbooks repository, which is a separate project [4] to create and maintain a starting position for cookbook authors most of which are considered good or best practice. The cookbook quick start guide [5] on our wiki is also a good place to begin learning cookbook authoring. Hope this helps. Don't forget you can stop by our IRC channel on irc://irc.freenode.net/chef |
