Also consider that if you write your app with a little bit of "code responsabiliy", usually when you need to scale, you have so many users that you can afford to rewrite your code thinking about scaling.
- ryan-allen 18y agoOnly if you have a business model and you're making money... or VC funding. I think the more important thing is to hire developers who have 'been there, done that' so they already know how to write code that is balanced.
- casta 18y agoI wrote my little web app without caring about scaling. Now it has about 20000 visitors a day and an average of 8 request per second. The uptime command says: load average: 0.16, 0.19, 0.15 (on a dual core machine.) Should I have any problem with the load, I think it would be feasible to find someone funding me. I understand it depends of the type of the service, but I also think that most of them could afford to think about scalability when they actually need it.
