How do you scale an APEX application to handle millions of page views?
Say, you build a on-line shopping site with APEX. Traffic is around 10 million page views per day.
How would you scale the app???
The way I understand APEX is that it runs inside the DB. So, that is like the "APEX server".
Your data is in another DB.i.e. the DB server. The APEX application will write to THIS DB only.
APEX don't need a special app server to run, right???
So, where do we do the load balancing to scale to 10 million page views per day?
10 million page views per day, comes to about 100 views per second.
So, is one solution to replicate 100 "APEX servers", all pointing to the one "DB server" and thus load balance the requests?
What is going to do the load balancing of the requests?? Will we need a HTTP server like APACHE to distribute the requests to the 100 "APEX Servers"??
