Clustering and scaling

PingAuthorize Servers are stateless. They do not require intra-cluster communication to scale. Instead, similarly configured independent server instances can be added behind the same network load balancer to achieve higher throughput while maintaining low latency.

To maintain identically configured PingAuthorize Server instances behind your load balancer, use DevOps principles of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and Automation. For more information about using server profiles to scale upward by installing a new, identically configured instance of PingAuthorize Server, see Deployment automation and server profiles.
