📈 Scaling Systems: From One User to Millions

This document outlines the process of scaling a system from a single user to millions, focusing on various architectural enhancements. It begins by describing a simple, single-server setup, then progresses to separating web and database tiers and the choice between relational and non-relational databases. The text explains vertical and horizontal scaling, introduces load balancers for traffic distribution, and covers database replication for performance and reliability. It further discusses the benefits and considerations of implementing cache tiers and using Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) for static content. Finally, it addresses the importance of a stateless web tier, multi-data center setups, message queues for asynchronous communication, and comprehensive logging, metrics, and automation to manage a large-scale system efficiently.
