Have you looked at PaaS providers like Heroku? They'll scale to anything you grow to and handle a lot of the scaling issues.

- YankeesTigers 14y agoWe have not, and I'll investigate more later, but from a quick glance it looks more complex than what we do now. Ideally, we dump the DB somewhere, upload data, and be done with the server side of things for good.
- benologist 14y agoThat's pretty much what you do with them, you can automate their capacity provisioning (to handle requests) with 3rd party tools like HireFireApp (http://hirefireapp.com/ http://hirefireapp.com/) and then the rest of it is you or they making sure your database and other supporting infrastructure can keep up, most of which can be handled by them or their partners.
