Does your website scale?

Scaling can be a bane if you don’t think about it in advance. By scaling I mean the ability of a website to handle a substantial increase in traffic without falling over. I found a good post that outlines the risks that come around scaling considerations. Here are some risks that are mentioned:

  • Not enough resources and site goes down
  • Too many resources and waste your money
  • Going with the cheapest solution

There’s some good advice in there. The last thing you want to do is build the best website selling top rated weight loss pills in the world, then get knocked off the Interweb because of the awesome marketing campaign you’re doing.
