Hi,
Heard about your software on ITConversations.com and decided to take a
look for the project I'm currently scoping out.
I've read through most of the architecture whitepaper and on lots of
the diagrams in the 'Deployment Patterns' section the DB appears as if
on another machine and some of the other diagrams seem to totally
ignore the M in LAMP.
What I'm interested in is how it would work if you wanted to follow
the Inter-Node pattern but not seperate out the DB element onto
another machine/s. So it wouldn't matter if you had 1 machine or 100
but that the data was replicated amongst them. Also on a file level,
as I've always been taught its best to store files (images etc) in the
file system and store pointers in DBs (this may not be such as issue
any more but I've not heard any different). Would this need to be run
in conjuction with MySQL replication (never used it so please be
gentle with explainations!) and something like DRBD for filesystem
replication (again never used it but heard of it).
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experimenting with your stuff.
Regards,
Mike
