- MySQL is growing rapidly, 52gb (feb 2018, grows 2-3gb a week atm). This is not a urgent issue. But we need to handle this before it grows above 600GB.
And the earlier we solve this. The faster is it (since you are migrating less data)
- It is possible to just buy a bigger server, but restoring backups / horizontal scaling will take days in the end
- MySQL is just one RDS server. Which handles all traffic. Horizontal scaling should be looked into
- Queues, jobs are too big or takes too long time.
