Scaling & Caching

Guidelines for handling higher traffic and reducing load.

App Workers

• Start with 2–4 workers; monitor CPU and latency.

• Use UNIX sockets for local proxying (lower overhead than TCP).

Caching

• Enable HTTP caching for static assets in Nginx.

• Consider a reverse proxy cache (e.g., Nginx proxy_cache) for public pages.

Database

• Index frequently queried columns.

• Use connection pooling if available.
