How hard is it to scale a Laravel app w/ Forge + Envoyer?

Hey,

Would love to know your opinions on how hard it is to scale a Laravel app with Forge and Envoyer.

The first step presumably is to upgrade the server (although I'm not sure at which point it stops making sense to upgrade the server and instead switch to having multiple servers with load balancing).

Once it gets to the point that multiple servers are needed, how hard is it to transition? Presuming everything is on one server to start.

I've seen some info about setting it up where the database is on one server and then the other servers access that.

Any helpful information you could share about this process?

Appreciate any insights.

One suggestion I have, look at some how-to articles on sites like digital ocean on scaling. But it is extremely easier using tools like forge. Those articles will give a better insight.
