Apologies, I meat to ask the pitfalls of adding more than 1 node to the frontaccounting installation.
e.g.:

                                         web server 1
Load Balancer <----------->                       ]-------------> Database server
                                         web server 2


The clients connect to the load balancer and the http request lands on 1 of the web-servers.

Since company/ directory now contains the state, above design will not work unless say company/ directory lives on a NFS drive which is mounted on both web servers.

This would make webserver redundant and avoid service being down if 1 of them happen to say, reboot.

My question is are there any other known concerns regarding the deployment design above.

Thanks,
Nishant

Hello,

Has anyone tried to scale frontaccouting horizontally.

I can see that company/ directory has some state stored in it, which makes the webserver not completely stateless.

Are there any more known issues which prohibit scaling horizontally?

Thanks,
Nishant
