Ask HN: how to build large scale infrastructure with less spending?
Hi,
I am working on a Facebook application. Never developed application for large scale. I am not clear about monetization model for project yet.
How can i build cost effective infrastructure to handle large scale ?
- kodeshpa 15y agoI am using php + mysql so thinking to get 2 small EC2 instances from Amazon.
- pbreit 15y agoI'd say get started with one instance and go from there. You will be able to first increase the instance, second separate the database out onto a 2nd instance and third, add instances. Two things you might want to consider or DotCloud which takes some of the pain out of scaling and Joyent which has a free year of hosting for preferenced treatment for Facebook apps: http://www.joyentcloud.com/developers/free-facebook-developer-program/ http://www.joyentcloud.com/developers/free-facebook-develope...
- kodeshpa 15y agodefinitely helpful any thoughts on databases?
