I use the Business license and have Retool containers installed on linux server A with postgresql on linux server D.
I want High Avalibility for the Retool containers on Server A by running the containers on Server A and B with a load balancer in front, both using the database on server D. Is this possible with the Business license and how it is best setup?
I have read the documentation on Multi-instance deployment that is available in the Enterprise version. But this seems to be deployment of multiple instances with separate databases. I only want to scale the Retool containers horizontally.
Hi there, yes that's definitely possible - if you want more advice on how to best configure your load balancing and the number of pods you're thinking about running then it might be best to reach out to the support team.
Thanks for reaching out, @eirik.andersen! We've definitely noticed a bit of a theme here and recognize that there's a desire for more guidance on scaling Retool horizontally. We have a decent resource here but will certainly be working on something more robust.
The scenario that you're describing can definitely be done on a Business plan and is most easily achievable with a container orchestration service like Kubernetes. Horizontal scaling is the number one reason for choosing K8s over a simple Docker deployment.
