Scale Consulting

Despite what the name might imply, scaling has nothing to do with weights or fish. Rather, scaling is the process of resizing your hosting capacity to fit the needs of your application. With FatBox, our approach means you can serve anywhere from a hundred to a hundred million users.

(If you're still hoping for fish, there's great sushi around the corner – we can have lunch.)

When Would Scaling Apply?

• When you need extra processing power and bandwidth going out to power a series of rich media banners.
• When you need extra processing power and bandwidth coming in from the millions of hits you're going to get because of those banners.
• When you want to save money by only paying for bandwidth you're using. (Instead of paying a fixed cost for bandwidth you don't need.)

How Do We Do It?

Scaling can be as simple as offloading SQL to a dedicated cluster or as involved as breaking your application out into several modules to allow for better service. Throughout the process, we'll advise and educate your team on what's going to work and what isn't.
