Scale Sentry Horizontally

[Silvian Cretu]

Hi guys,
I deployed Sentry on a virtual machine in Amazon's Elastic Cloud. I
have replicated that machine (so, now I have 2 identical Sentry
instances) and put a load balancer in front of them.

Now, if I go the load balancer's URL and log in and then start
clicking around, I see that I'm only logged on one Sentry machine.
So... can Sentry be scaled horizontally? Is there a way in which I
could have a working "sentry farm"?

Thanks!

Sentry is very easy to scale horizontally, outside of the database. We haven't hit the limit of a single node yet, so haven't put any real effort towards horizontal scalability. It's going to be a challenging problem when

it happens, but its pretty easy to distribute the database based on projects.

Thank you David.
I set up only one sentry machine. Hopefully I won't be reaching any limit that would require scaling any time soon.
