Does somebody know how to run my nodejs api in a cluster on multiple machines?

When aws offers so many ec2 options with db backups, why do you need clusters?

@jAsE load balancer is the most common way for large volume. Normally you don't have to write service side code for clustering. Am I wrong? Or I just too native

@sunfishcc it’s not that I need a lot of computing power, I want to provide my api on multiple places. So there will be less delay.

@toonvanstrijp are there internet connection between places? Do you need synchronize multiple databases?

@sunfishcc I was thinking about using a vpn connection so that the database can be used directly but don’t know if that is a good solution? And yes there can be an internet connection between the machines. It’s just that I’m wondering what is the best method for horizontally scaling your web service.

How about local server with cloud mongodb? 😎

@Unipheas but how? :)

@sunfishcc I’m using MySQL, and how to deploy multiple machines that use the same database?

@toonvanstrijp something like this?

@sunfishcc thanks!! Then the other question, how to set up the load balancer for the nodeJS web servers?
