Figure 1: Node configuration

Figure 1 shows what this look like. Calls that would otherwise have gone to 'Location' are now routed to 'Character', which is a set of nodes that is very easily load balanced according to number of logged-in characters. This fits nicely with the schema that is already in place. We need roughly 8 character nodes (out of the total of 204 sol nodes in the cluster) to handle the load and this is very predictable.

Now that most of these changes have been deployed, when your client makes a call for things that aren't directly related to your location, that call will typically be routed to your dedicated character node where your character happily ælives' along with tens of thousands of other characters.

Since the work coming from an individual client has a long way to go before it exceeds the capacity of a single CPU core and is easily predictable, we're in a good place. The client still makes the same number of calls to the cluster as before and the amount of work done on the cluster is unchanged. All that is different is that other nodes perform the work.

Changing this isn't very glorious or filled with a lot of eureka! moments. It's mostly just eating your vegetables and rearranging logic. The benefits, however, are substantial since, as it turned out, the majority of the calls that a client makes in a given period can be serviced by any node and therefore should not go to the location node.
