Laravel Global Scaling: Multi-Region Deployment
Scaling Laravel applications globally requires strategic infrastructure, database replication, and content delivery optimization.
Infrastructure Strategy
Deploy application servers across multiple regions using cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, or DigitalOcean. Use load balancers and auto-scaling groups.
Database Architecture
- Master-slave replication for read scaling
- Multi-master replication for write scaling
- Database sharding for horizontal scaling
- Caching layers (Redis/Memcached)
- CDN for static assets
Deployment Pipeline
Implement blue-green deployments, automated testing, and rollback mechanisms. Use containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) for consistency.
