Scaling Concept PLANTA Server

Problem

• Server capacity is not sufficient anymore. What to do?

Solution

• On the part of the client, load balancing can be set up: service record (srv). See Client Parameters.
• The service can be provided by an arbitrary number of servers which then, e.g., carry out a load distribution via Round-Robin.
• When opening the client, an arbitrary number of servers can be transferred via the server parameter, from which the client then selects a random server and connects to it. Specify as follows: server=server1:21000 server=server2:21000
• In such a case, a PLANTA Server instance is not dependent on any other PLANTA Server instance. Hence, the system can be scaled horizontally. The database may be the bottleneck here.
