How many production servers should I start with?
- by elfintar
I'm building a site that I plan to grow to the size of SO.
I'm only planning to have one prodcuction server to start off with. This will host everything including the database.
I know it's very hard to say but am I likely to run into trouble quickly (if the site takes off) and if this is the case should I start out with more than one server so I can load balance everything from day 1?
If no, should I be looking for something a little bigger than this spec?:
