Autoscaling is not going to help if you are IO-bound in your database. One point of the article is you have to identify your bottleneck before you can make sensible design choices.
- 0xbadcafebee 3y ago....you can autoscale database read replicas, and write nodes (master-master)....
- jeremyjh 3y agoIf you are bound in disk IO, adding master-master write nodes will not help you. The same number of bytes have to be written to the same volume whether they come from a replica or an application server. The only solution is partitioning/sharding, and there is no "easy button" to press and make that happen because it comes with its own limitations and trade-offs, and is something the application code will be intimately aware of.
- lanstin 3y agoAuto sharding. A nice idea for a DAO layer.
- sgarland 3y ago> master-master Now you have two problems.
