Multi-tier (more than one server for my application, load balancer, web servers, database server...)

I would love to have the option of setting up a multi-server application for more targeted and cost effective scaling. For instance, Say I could create a Wordpress site with a dedicated DB server, a dedicated load balancer, and a dedicated Web server. As my site grows, I can scale the specific part that is needed. If my site is gets a lot of views (reads), but doesn't make many writes, scaling my existing web server (or adding another instance) may be what's needed. If I'm running a WooCommerce site and start pushing the limits of my db server, increasing the resources or implementing replication might make more sense. It would be really great to have that level of control when growing a site.

    Time to scale out. So we are looking for clustering options for Maria db. Galleria?

  • kramfs.com commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, this feature is basically missing from CloudWays. They support scale-up so you can upgrade to the next best thing (higher spec server, etc), but not scale-out yet for a tiered design i.e. 3-tier application. This way you can scale just the web application layer or the database or other components as needed as you grow your business.

    This should be the number one goal for 2020 and judging from the likes, it's the most requested feature. Make it happen!

    This is an amazing idea and I have been searching for similar service all over but couldn't find one made for non-developers.

    Yes DO load balancer would be great for large, scaled backends

  • Burlington Press commented  ·   ·  Report

    Since vertical scaling requires that the server go down for up to 10 minutes, I would like the ability to schedule that for, say, 3am local time.

    Any release date yet Team Cloudways?

  • Pan 1234 commented  ·   ·  Report

    A solution with rsync, sql parallelism and a load balancer will be great.
    It is important for some sites to have 0% downtime.

    When we build softwares that use day-to-day transaction (like Bank Transactions), the daily or hourly backup is just not enough sometimes. We need to have a Master-Slave setup so that we don't lose even one single transaction when the server crashes for some reason

    I second this - it would be great if cloudways offered a horizontal scaling cluster template - so that the wordpress app can scale as it needs HORIZONTALLY not just vertically!
