    Scalability Roadmap

    Stage 10 – 50 users· Single VPS + Docker

    Separate app and database servers. Managed RDS for backups. Laravel Horizon for queue monitoring.

    Stage 3500 – 5K users· Load balanced EC2 + Redis Cluster

    Multiple app servers behind ALB. Dedicated Redis cluster. Read replicas for reporting queries.

    Stage 45K+ users· ECS + Aurora + Data Warehouse

    Containerised deployment. Aurora MySQL. Separate data warehouse (Redshift) for heavy analytics.
