    tl;dr Listicle of five service layouts for different horizontal and vertical scaling. Provides a paragraph about each and pros/cons. Useful if you only have five minutes to learn about the following terms; not, if you've already spent five minutes learning about the following terms.

    1 Everything On One Server

    2 Separate Database Server

    3 Load Balancer (Reverse Proxy)

    4 HTTP Accelerator (Caching Reverse Proxy)

    5 Master-Slave Database Replication
