I want to use drupal as a framework in my application so, it is worthful ? I am little bit worry. Please let me know it anything from your side.

Thank you,
Mrugesh Panchal.

Drupal is php framework, you can create large application with it. the limitation is your skill programing in php languages. CMIIW

we use if often. my biggest concern only is that if you cannot use drupal's cache for some reason, then dont use it. it's going to be pretty slow. stick where it's really good at and that is content management.

For the most part Drupal is great to use as an application framework -- as long as you aren't doing anything too overly complicated or data heavy. There is a point where I think Drupal/PHP does breakdown and some other waterworks (such as Microsoft's .NET) can become more valuable with more advanced application development.

It really just depends what functionality you are trying to implement and what your goals for the application are. Different frameworks/languages are good for different things -- there is no one size fits all solution when it comes to coding frameworks.
