[Treebase-devel] load balancing treebase?

[Mattison W. <mat...@ne...>]

Is treebase written in such a way that having multiple tomcat
application servers would work?

Is all data written to and read from the database or does curation
involve files in a directory somewhere?

If we maintained one web server and one database server, but multiple
tomcat servers then a problem with one of the tomcat servers would not
make the site stop responding for everyone.

The site has been pretty stable for the last few weeks, but during
certain periods, certain file uploads and downloads cause tomcat to
stop responding until restarted.  I have automated the restarting as
much as possible, but load balancing is an option we might want to
consider for the future.
