If your framework needs to be fast and needs to be responsive to Ajax calls you have a bit of a contradiction in terms. &nbsp;Ajax runs at the speed of the client browser, so the speed is out of your control. &nbsp; Any server-side technology can be fast on that end of things. &nbsp;Both Yahoo and Facebook are PHP machines. &nbsp;Other technologies include Java (not JavaScript) and CFM, however Coldfusion is less popular than it once was. &nbsp;There are more. &nbsp;A lot of the answer depends on the way your data base is structured.

Thanks Ray for the insight.<br />
<br />
Data will cached, most probably using Lucene. The confusion in terms of settling on a framework has been caused by the overheads that framework have. I would not like the framework to become a bottleneck as every millisecond counts when waiting for an ajax response.<br />
<br />
I would help if you could suggest a couple of frameworks worth evaluating.<br />

I am searching a framework for data services. Site will be accessed mainly through Ajax and WebService calls. <br />
<br />
Programming Language is no limitation. The only requirement for the framework is that is has to be Lightning Fast.<br />
<br />
Please suggest me something?

Framework for data related services

A web application framework (WAF) is a software framework that is designed to support the development of dynamic websites, web applications, web services and web resources. The framework aims to alleviate the overhead associated with common activities performed in web development. Most common web application frameworks are defined by specific subsets, including ASP.NET, JaveEE, Symfony, ColdFusion Language (CFML), Laravel, jQuery and AngularJS, or for the related languages, including .NET, PHP, JavaScript, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, C++ and C.

Web Frameworks

A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. A web service has an interface described in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages. There are two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant web services, and Arbitrary web services.

Web Services

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
