We are getting a lot of inquires about the master/slave configuration that is available in the v3.0 package.

This feature is for advanced users only
If you don't know what master/slave means, then you probably shouldn't be using it. It requires a special server configuration in order to use it. You can read more about MySQL replication and how to use it at https://www.toptal.com/mysql/mysql-mast ... n-tutorial

That being said, it is worth the time to set up. The benefits of using MySQL replication are huge. On large sites, you will see a significant improvement in SQL performance.

Please comment if you have any questions.

What is the number of concurrent users you have seen in order to start using replicas?

There is no specific number, it depends on a lot of different things.

You don’t necessarily need master/slave. It will help for sure, though. We have sites running thousands of users without issue. The server software optimization is key.
