Content Delivery search feature scaling
The Content Delivery search feature can be scaled out in various ways, depending on your type of environment.
- Dedicated IQ Combined Service
-
For a medium-load Cloud-based presentation website, one dedicated machine for both indexing and querying can prove to be sufficient and cost-effective.
- Multi-instance full scale-out
-
Depending on your experience with indexing and querying performance on a fully scaled-out system, you may need to conduct a cost-benefit analysis to see if setting up a load-balanced system is worth your while. A load-balanced system might involve any or all of the following:
- multiple IQ Combined Service instances behind a load balancer
- multiple OpenSearch instances behind a load balancer --for more information how to set up this load-balanced cluster and how to make your microservices connect to this cluster, refer to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/high-availability-cluster-design-large-clusters.html
