Don't have scaling issues yet? I have the book for you...

This book is perfect for all the dweebs that worry about this shit as if they were building the next Facebook or twitter or some shit like that.

"No Tod, x tech stack ain't gonna affect your performance, you are building a login form, not YouTube"

But where do you draw the line between YAGNI and overengineering?

There’s 99.9% chance that the startup, I’m working for, will never have more than 10 concurrent users.

I can implement everything the laziest way possible and keep collecting the salary until we run out of the runway.
Or I can at least pretend to design something for thousands of users.

@matste the level of optimism you have is commendable 😂 👏

Redundancy/auto failover is often more important however when these are implemented usually it scales well automatically.

It's funny to see all the micro services stacks everywhere. Sure shit scales horizontal. Still performs far worse than a single server monolith. They often have has massive amplification DOS issues to boot.

We do run into some issues with the sql server though; hard to scale properly without massive app changes.
