Hi,

We are evaluating for upgrading reviewboard  from v2.5.6.1 to v3.0.14. Our initial queries in doing so:

  • Is that version supports High availability (HA) support capability like putting the installation behind the load balancer?
  • Can the installation be done on NFS storage location instead of linux VM’s local storage?
Reagrds,
Gautam Bajaj.

Provided your NFS storage is reliable and highly responsive, I don't see why you shouldn't put the service and the backing database onto an NFS store.

Still, personally, I'd put it onto the fastest storage which is usually local virtual disk, and then ensure that I had good replication of the database set up along with regular db dumps and file backups.

Thanks Paul, will you or somebody be able to comment on my first question that is,

Does reviewboard supports High availability (HA) support capability like putting the installation behind the load balancer that can distribute the load between more than one machine?

Hi,

Yes, Review Board works fine behind a load balancer. We do this ourselves for the servers we run (including our SaaS, RBCommons.com). It’s important that you use the same site directory contents across both. NFS works for this, but be mindful of performance (it’s likely going to be much slower to load).
