Hi all, I am looking for a setup recommendation using the AWS platform. Currently we have a vBulletin site that get 1 million visits a month, about 1500-2000 active visitors at peak times durring the day (12 hour block), and traffic is increasing every month.
Our current setup is a large m.1 server for this site and a large m.1 RDS (multi-AZ) for the DB. I would like to setup something that is scaleable and balanced but I don't want to use a bunch of large servers if multiple smaller ones will make the site just as fast. I was considering the following: - Put the forums on nginx instead of apache - using sphinx for search (how does that affect things) - using S3 for profile pictures and such (how does that affect things) - move database off RDS to master and slave setup to save costs - possibly not use amazon load balancers if better to not... Can someone help suggest a setup. What size servers should I do and how many? What do you think about taking the DB off of RDS? etc... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "scalr-discuss" group.
