So scaling up instead of scaling out. I’m not sure if it’s a viable strategy long term, at the same time we probably don’t want a single CA to handle too many certificates?
- theandrewbailey 6y agoI'm not aware of any other CA giving out free certificates to anyone. I know that some other providers/hosts will do free certificates, but only to their users (last time I checked).
- thamer 6y agoScaling up means each query is faster (3x in this particular case). Scaling out means they can support more clients/domains (more DB shards, more web servers, more concurrency, etc). These are two distinct axes that are not incompatible with each other.
- baby 6y agoNot always true though, scaling out can make your queries faster by alleviating the load
