Single Server Implementation?

[Robyn Walter]

I am working on a project that needs to be very scalable and will be
on multiple servers in about 12 months. Right now I am on one server,
and the web app does a lot of bulk emailing, and image resizing.

Is it possible to implement this solution entirely on one server
initially, and then add servers as needed?

Looking for advice...

Thanks,
Robyn

Hi Robyn,

Yes, this is very easy with Gearman. You can run the job server and
all workers on a single machine, and then gradually start up more
workers on remote machines as load increases.

that's what I'm doing right now, I run a virtual machine in my laptop, it's both server and worker.
