comment Scaling up from 1 Web Server + 1 DB Server
Hi James, yes we do memcache and client side caching. I am intrigued by the EC2 solution. Will do some research - are you deploying any of that right now?

comment Scaling up from 1 Web Server + 1 DB Server
We do actually deploy memcache and we also do a client side API cache. The problem is that no matter how much caching you do, you're still going to have to deal with spikes in traffic and that seems to be what we're most vulnerable on right now. 1. How to handle spikes in apache connections (httpd) 2. How to handle more SQL queries (mysqld) Thanks everyone!
