Scalability - multiple databases using Cloud ?

Hi ,

I read a lot about how to make my laravel application scalable , and many recommended using multiple databases (on different servers if possible)

I intend to use cloud services with nginx + auto load balancing . (Azure or Digital Ocean + Forge)

I was wondering if i still needed multiple databases or would it be enough just to have multiple tables within a single database ?

You clearly don't know what you are talking about?

Leave the job of scaling to a good system/db architect or use SaaS providers. Its not a trivial task.
