We have a web application that we are about to take live. But I have a fear that the server won't be able to handle all the requests and it won't be as comfortable to the users as a website should be. Currently I'm thinking about using 2 things. One of them is having 2 more additional servers and use them to loadbalance the users between the servers. So it would be 1 Loadbalanced server, 2 webapplication servers and 1 backend (database) server.

The other thing is HTTP cache. Can it be enough if I just get one more server and set it up as a cache server with NginX? Which would you do if you are limited in terms of resources and why? (Maybe how?)

    Caching anonymous content can give you orders of magnitude performance gains, Nginx does a good job at that in many cases - it can load balance and cache. Not sure what "HTTP Cache" is. – Tim Jul 25 '17 at 07:57
