📈 Scalability

A step-by-step scaling roadmap from MVP to 1M+ users

Scaling Targets

Phase	Users	TPS	Infra
Phase 1 (Now)	~10,000	100	Cloudflare + Supabase
Phase 2 (Q3 2025)	~100,000	1,000	Multi-region + Cache
Phase 3 (Q1 2026)	~1,000,000+	10,000+	Kubernetes + Sharding

Phase 1 Specs

• Frontend: Cloudflare Pages (Global CDN, auto-deploy)
• Backend: Cloudflare Workers (edge serverless)
• Database: Supabase PostgreSQL (Free → Pro plan)
• Cache: Upstash Redis (serverless)
• Blockchain: Sui Testnet → Mainnet

Phase 2: Multi-Region Scaling

• Database: Supabase read replicas (Asia / US / EU)
• Cache: Regional Redis clusters
• CDN: Cloudflare Argo for faster routing
• Queue: BullMQ for async task processing
• Monitoring: Grafana + alerts

Phase 3: Enterprise Scaling

• Container Orchestration: Kubernetes (EKS / GKE)
• Database: PostgreSQL horizontal sharding (Citus)
• Microservices: Per-service independent scaling
• Event Streaming: Kafka for inter-service communication
• Observability: OpenTelemetry + Jaeger tracing

Blockchain Scalability

Aspect	Current	Target
Primary Chain	Sui (100K+ TPS)	Sufficient for Phase 3
Cross-Chain	—	EVM Bridge + Cardano Bridge
State Storage	On-chain objects	Off-chain indexing + on-chain proofs
Batch Processing	—	zkProof batch settlements

Monitoring & Observability

Layer	Tool	Metrics
Frontend	Cloudflare Analytics	Page views, Core Web Vitals
API	Grafana	Latency, error rate, throughput
Database	Supabase Dashboard	Query performance, connections
Blockchain	SuiScan	Tx count, gas usage, module calls
Infrastructure	Uptime Robot	Availability, response time
