The Plan: single-server architecture

EarlyDog’s same premium cloud management and support but priced for simpler infrastructure needs.

A single-server architecture is where all parts of an application run on one cloud server. The webserver (e.g. Nginx) runs on the same server as the application (e.g. PHP) and the database (e.g. MySQL).

A single-server architecture is often the right choice for small- to mid-sized applications. The simplicity of single-server architectures eliminates risks that are inherent to the complexity of multi-server architectures.

Scaling on The Plan is achieved by vertical scaling: adding more resources such as CPU and RAM to the server. Vertical scaling is a great solution when appropriate. As you grow, your EarlyDog engineering team will work with you and your developers to identify bottlenecks and business priorities that will inform if and when moving to a Custom Cloud multi-server architecture would be appropriate.
