Is there any limit in the numbers of records (polygons, lines, etc,) and vertices which could be loaded in Geoserver? Do you have any experience with millions, hundreds of polygons? What is a feasible limit for Geoserver? Any comment or experience in this field would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Geoserver should scale quite well with many features. We have a GNIS dataset up on sigma.openplans.org that is serving several million features, and it does it quite successfully. The main thing to remember is to have a spatial index on your dataset and to style it appropriately so not everything is rendered (it will just take a long time).

On friday I was playing to see if I could hit a limit that GeoServer could handle with the WFS. I successfully served up about 40 million features, creating a 37 gigabyte file. I believe that there are no limits to GeoServer serving WFS. GeoServer doesn't hold much in memory, it all streams from the database to our outputs.
For WMS I think it could handle rendering millions of features at once, but unless you made a huge image most of the time would be spent rendering features that would be no more than one pixel big. As Brent says, you want to be sure to style your maps to show the right level of detail at the appropriate times. The roads database on sigma is 35 million features, but we only show it by itself at the closest zoom levels. But we show the 'major' roads when zoomed out more.
best regards,
Chris
