Re: How to handle large number of users



10 million users over what period of time? It is not the potential number of overall users your system could have, but how many simultaneous users you should expect, and how many user over what period of time, that is important.
10 million user will be the max that the system will hit.
It will be a typical Client-Server application. The number will grow over a period of time. Each user will connect to the server once daily and will update few tables. The data transfered to the server is small(some integer values).

Do you have to interact with other systems? Are these systems real time, mission critical, etc?

The system is real time and is mission critical.

I need to design a system that will scale as the number of users grow, so to start I might have 1 or 2 servers serving but as the number of users grow I would like to add more servers.
