singleserver
Singleserver is a deployment model in which an application runs on a single server, which may be physical or virtual. In a singleserver setup, core components such as the web server, application logic, and data storage reside on the same host, often as a single process or tightly coupled set of processes. This approach is common for small-scale apps, development environments, and early-stage products because it minimizes infrastructure complexity and networking overhead.
Advantages include simpler deployment, lower initial costs, and reduced latency between components due to locality. Management
Use cases include development sandboxes, proof-of-concept projects, and small businesses with predictable workloads. In production, singleserver
Over time, many teams migrate from singleserver to distributed architectures as demand grows. Remedies include vertical
Security and reliability challenges in singleserver environments include the concentration of risk on one host. Practices
