KISS - keep it simple stupid is definitely true. and I don't to be premature optimizing... but I do want to plan for possible optimization and scalability solutions from the get go. I'd rather not close off options...and have several options (hopefully easy to implement) available to me later on when I need them.
For my tests...I'm just running a simple blog...but given it was used on a high traffic site, I try to think what would happen and what would help. My hope is that one day it is pushed to the limits and used on a site with high traffic. What I actually got going was my blog running on an Amazon EC2 instance and mounted an Amazon S3 partition on the instance...then ran the slave and had it's datadir point to the S3 to store its files. Worked great. www.cloud-9ine.com ...Of course there's several problems that could arise, if the EC2 instance (the only one I'm running) went down..both databases would...but it was just one idea at solving a problem with EC2 and persistent data. Anyway that's moving more off subject..but to put this all in perspective, I'm trying to figure out how people have used CakePHP with load balancing (HTTP too actually) and database clustering so I can make a very good and infinitely scalable media blog...and the functionality is basically there...I just have to refine, optimize, style, and get some EC2 image set. Thanks for your input it has been really helpful...the next steps I guess will really be outside of CakePHP from what I gather. -Tom On Apr 12, 12:04 am, "Dr. Tarique Sani" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 8:03 AM, Tom.Maiaroto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > > Cool, so this is outside of the application all together... > > Is that preferable?
