Scaling Drupal for a heavy load site
Posted December 14th, 2007

We've recently been asked by a client to look into creating a Drupal installation that can cope with heavy load. Here's some useful instructions from johnandcailin.com.
I'll post a follow-up in the near future explaining what we ended up doing and how successful it was.
- Scaling drupal - an open-source infrastructure for high-traffic drupal sites
- Scaling drupal step one - a dedicated data server
- Scaling drupal step one B - nfs vs rsync
- Scaling drupal step two - sticky load balancing with apache mod_proxy
- Scaling drupal step three - using heartbeat to implement a redundant load balancer
