How important is sitting behind a load balancer? - richb201 - 02-05-2021
My project was designed to run on one server. It keeps some images it stores directly in a directory and keeps the addresses of those images in a mysql database.
How important is it for me to be running multiple instances behind a load balancer?
I don't expect to ever get to over 50 users. The system is not very CPU bound, except when it is running a report, which can take 6-8 seconds to run.
How important for the success of the project is it to be able to run on multiple instances?

I ran it with the Profiler. It take 3.4 secs to run the report. I have split off a part that preps the database files prior to running the reports and that takes about 1.1 sec. I am running CI 3.
I am just not sure about how CI runs. Will other users be blocked while a 3.4 second report is running?
I already spent a bunch of time modifying my system to use RDS but i am running out of gas to use S3 for the images.
