|

|

It's important to discuss what bottlenecks you might encounter with the initial design and how you might address each of them. For example, what issues are addressed by adding a **Load Balancer** with multiple **Web Servers**? **CDN**? **Master-Slave Replicas**? What are the alternatives and **Trade-Offs** for each?
|
||||
|
||||
We'll introduce some components to complete the design and to address scalability issues. Internal load balancers are not shown to reduce clutter.
