I am building a system that I know will eventually reach and exceed load limits on a singular server environment. A cloud rig is not an option (currently). So I am wondering before I get really heavy into the development if its possible to use multiple servers for various aspects.
Examples of "Various Aspects": Multiple DB Servers, Multiple Picture/Storage Servers, Multiple Servers for the actual app itself.. and so on as needs begin to force the hands to fit the enlarging expected population we hope to have one day soon.
I guess what I am mostly curious about is, can I through CI build a system that can handle what is hoped to be an ever lasting need for expansion hardware wise. I mean I may be taking a look at the need for multiple servers in the wrong context and devising a game plan for expansion wrong (which if that be the case, please by all means let me know)
All I know is I need to build a solution early in prep for the hopeful need of one day soon. The particular type of service I am building once launched and running will build steam quick this much we know based on prototype concepts we have launched with a similar concepts in the past but this particular one is much larger scale. So with that we know one machine will not handle the load for to long, and need to have something stable in place for when we go outward from one machine to many.
This is mostly an informational quest than it is one to seek answers of how to based on whats wrong. But anything anyone has to offer on this concept, from there experience to whether or not its even possible where if it is, how.. would be greatly appreciated.
