Ruby on Ales

Outgrowing the Cloud (Mike Moore)

  • Requests hitting the same load balancer can't handle HTTP and HTTPS at the same time because of SSL issues
  • If you are trying to access an outside resource behind a firewall, you have to tell them every time you get a new webserver so they can whitelist the new IP
  • If you know the IPs of your web servers and database servers, you can have requests hit these directly and bypass the load balancers.
  • Could buy your own data center, but then you have to buy a load balancing router. Those are fucking expensive (tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars)
