Hi, I'm thinking about some project, and I was wondering about something: lets say I'm setting up a really-big-web site. Something in the scale of Walla or Ynet. My question is about the DB: Where are exactly my limitations that I need to go master/slave, replications etc. Is it related to memory? processor? I know that many uses replication etc due to shortage or RAM and/or CPU power.
Lets say I have a machine with 512GB RAM, 20 cores, 20TB disks. Such a machine should handle a huge load without any issue. With such a machine, theoretically, can a single MySQL / PostgreSQL handle such a load? (few hundred thousands connected users at once).
