I will assume that you are not running jobs on the master, if you are, that's
the first step to growing is removing all workloads from the master and
delegating them to agents.
For most use-cases I have either worked with or seen, delegating work to the
agents and then putting a beefy machine in place for the master (fast disk I/O)
is sufficient to grow into the many hundreds of jobs/thousands of builds per
day.
If you're growing past that, I suggest splitting into multiple independent
masters based on the workloads associated with them. For example, I might break
out the jobs for the "mobile team" to a new master infrastructure since they
have Android/iOS build requirements and let the "server" team stick to another
master with a number of Linux agents. This has the added benefit of separating
concerns, plugins and access control based on logic separations inside your
organization.
Hope that helps point you in the right direction.
