Or do you need to quickly ramp up your server capacity to satisfy temporary demand? Our Public Cloud deployment option is well suited for web-scale applications that don't require specialized configuration and support. Do you need the economics of the public cloud, but more isolation, configuration flexibility and support for your more complex needs? Learn more about our cloud compute deployment options.
Drupal in the cloud It is not always easy to scale Drupal -- not because Drupal sucks, but simply because scaling the LAMP stack (including Drupal) takes no small amount of skill. You need to buy the right hardware, install load balancers, setup MySQL servers in master-slave mode, setup static file servers, setup web servers, get PHP working with an opcode cacher, tie in a distributed memory object caching system like memcached, integrate with a content delivery network, watch security advisories for every component in your system and configure and tune the hell out of everything. Either you can do all of the above yourself, or you outsource it to a company that knows how to do this for you. Both are non-trivial and I can count the number of truly qualified companies on one hand. Tag1 Consulting is one of the few Drupal companies that excel at this, in case you're wondering. My experience is that MySQL takes the most skill and effort to scale.
