TYPO3 and Neos in the cluster

The clustering of applications can offer advantages in terms of availability, load distribution and redundancy. The scalability and advantages of a database cluster can also be utilized in this way. In this area, we combine our strengths in hosting and DevOps for you.

What does "clustering" mean in the TYPO3 and Neos context?

Clustering refers to the configuration of multiple servers working together to provide higher availability, scalability and redundancy for web applications.

By implementing a cluster for TYPO3 and Neos, organizations can significantly improve the scalability, resilience and performance of their web applications. This results in a better user experience and a more robust, resilient infrastructure.

Clustering and more...

High availability:

The use of multiple servers ensures that the website or application remains available even if one server fails. This minimizes downtime and improves reliability.

Load distribution (load balancing):

A load balancer distributes the incoming data traffic evenly across all available servers in the cluster. This prevents individual servers from being overloaded and ensures an even workload, which optimizes performance.

Redundancy:

By providing multiple instances of the TYPO3 or Neos application, redundancy is created. This means that in the event of a server failure, other servers in the cluster can take over the load without the service being interrupted.

Scalability:

Clustering enables simple horizontal scaling by allowing additional servers to be added in the event of increased traffic or growing demand. This ensures that the application remains performant even when requirements increase.

Database cluster:

Use of database clusters (e.g. MySQL Cluster, MariaDB Galera Cluster) to ensure the availability and consistency of the database used by TYPO3 or Neos. Data is replicated to multiple database servers to ensure resilience and load balancing.

File system synchronization:

Use of distributed file systems or file replication services (e.g. NFS, GlusterFS, Rsync) to ensure that files and media used by TYPO3 or Neos are synchronized on all servers in the cluster.

Configuration management and orchestration:

Use of configuration management tools such as Ansible, Puppet or Chef as well as orchestration tools such as Kubernetes to automate the provisioning, configuration and management of the cluster environment. This makes it easier to manage large and complex clusters.

Session management:

Management of user sessions in a distributed environment. This can be achieved by using centralized session handling mechanisms such as Redis or Memcached to ensure that user sessions persist seamlessly across multiple servers.

Monitoring and logging

Implementation of monitoring and logging solutions (e.g. Nagios, Prometheus, ELK Stack) to monitor the performance, availability and security of the cluster. This helps to detect and rectify problems at an early stage.
