Scalability & Throughput Evolution

4-Tier Architectural Progression

Scales horizontally on the stateless Express/Node backend, with static CDN hosting for Vue assets and MongoDB replica sets.

Tier
Phase 1

Small Scale

MVP & Early Deployments

Single Node.js server with pre-built Vue static assets served from disk or NGINX alongside MongoDB.

Tier
Phase 2

Medium Scale

Growth & Clustering

Vue SPA deployed to a global CDN (Cloudflare/Vercel) with clustered Node.js API instances behind a load balancer.

Tier
Phase 3

Large Scale

High Concurrency & Caching

Microservices architecture with Redis caching for hot endpoints and dedicated MongoDB replica sets.

Tier
Phase 4

Enterprise Scale

Global & Distributed

Sharded multi-region MongoDB cluster with async queue workers (RabbitMQ/BullMQ) and CDN edge caching.
