Advice on React application with Laravel API as a backend that uses MySQL for the database
I currently run a site that hosts about 20,000 total users with 5,000-20,000 page views per day depending on what time of week/month. Right now I’m running it with Laravel/PHP/MySQL on Ubuntu LAMP on 18.04 droplet ($40, 2CPUs/4GB/256GB Disk). It has been working decent, but if the traffic gets too high, the site will lock up. Most of the time this lock up is due to MySQL taking up 100% of the processes.
I’m wondering if it would be worth it for me to switch over to DO’s Managed Databases? I haven’t used it before, but it looks like it would be able to handle MySQL if it gets too loaded?
Also, how would that work? I have 3 separate droplets? 1 for react, 1 for laravel api, and one for the managed database?
