I think this is very valuable and helpful.
What really matters I think is when you really need to go this route?
Wat what kind of traffic / transactions/s level do you need to (re)design for this?
Or even, by what metric would you opt for this solution?
I mean, just buying a bigger instance will get you a long way and if you offset that cost to development time / effort / lost opportunity, how will the scale be tipped?
- rmbyrro 5y agoI think it depends a lot on the application use cases and requirements. Things like: Will there be spikes in demand 50x higher than baseline usage? I.e. how fast and efficiently the system needs to scale up? What level of reliability is needed? I.e. is it really a big problem if the system goes down for an hour a handful of times throughout a given time period?
- whoevercares 5y agoNah people need to go this route just to pass the interview and get the $600k job by answering the question made up for the interview - it always need to scale globally with at least 99.99 availability and development time /other non-tech dimensions almost always not in scope
