    Possible duplicate of How to scale horizontally a microservice that holds a database Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 9:38

    ,,, and don't get me wrong, but on this site, questions have a way better chance to survive when written in a focussed manner. The community here usually does not need to know the whole discussion going back and forth in ones head to understand what they are asking. Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 9:44
  • It's a simple question. Does database scaling work? It's not about how to scale microservices. Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 9:45
  • Exactly my point - the whole discussion about what you think about Microservices in the first half of your question makes it hard to understand what you really want to know. And the top answer to that other question holds already a simple answer: learn about sharding Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 9:48
  • I can delete the background about microservices if that helps. I'm not interested in sharding. My whole question is about whether or not a single , large database can scale up. Obviously, that's going to involve replication etc. and the question was about whether or not people had actually managed to get it working. Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 10:20
