zunkelty's questions

,Hi everybody. At the moment I am looking for a good way to host my MERN Stack application and found that Cloud Hosting via AWS would be a great solution. Before proceeding I wanted to clarify some questions of understanding how Cloud Hosting works.

What I have understood is that Cloud Hosting is based on instances that are running somewhere in the AWS System. In the case that I wanted to increase the performance of my hosted app I could add another instance so that there would be two instances running for my app.

• When users open my website, how is the traffic split between my two instances? Normally my domain would link to the IP address of one instance, but wouldn't the other instance be unreachable then?

• My database would be running on each instance separately, right? How could I make one database used by all other instances?

Thanks in advance! I appreciate any help ?

I'm currently trying to set up my first V-Server (CentOS 7) with Tomcat to run a Web-App.

Everything works fine now, but I am facing one last problem that stops me from releasing it:

I can only access my Tomcat WebApp via exampledomain.com:8080/WebAppName/ but I would love it to just be exampledomain.com/WebAppName/.

After hours (literally like 20) I haven't come up with a solution, but having the user to always type 8080 is not an option for me.

I would be extremely happy if somebody had a solution or tip for me.

Thanks in advance!
