Tutorial: Scaling with Forge

Nice first video!

I think it misses some info on how to share session data between the servers. That would be a nice subject for a follow up video.

Well done, and thanks for the effort! I look forward to further tutorials on this subject!!

@freekmurze I thought of it afterwards. I may do a follow up later.

Another consideration is sharing file uploads between servers, if you had any.

@frameworkdnd Great idea. Will add to my list, but I need to learn about it first ;) Do you have any ideas of how that would be made more precisely?

I think just SFTP'ing the file over would be a smart way to do it.

On other (non-Laravel) projects, I've used a nfs share that's mounted from all of the different web servers, but that leaves you with one point of failure and a potential bottleneck.

I wasn't sure if there was a better way to handle this.

I'll just use AWS and show how to use it (database, file sharing, etc)

Well done @CraftThatBlock!

What about adding another db server and setup master/slave + private networking?

@CraftThatBlock - have you thought about setting up mirrored servers for failover? For example, I have servers in the SF DigitalOcean farm, but would like to set up mirrors in New York, as either place has issues every once in a while, taking the servers down. I'd be interested in a redundant always-on server setup using Forge. :)

This is best video for Laravel Forge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en0TSkR49ZA

Thanks @CraftThatBlock -- helpful scaling tutorial. Also, even though the above URL recommended by @MajidCS is Russian and video only, I concur it was very useful!
