Not an elegant solution, but it works fairly well. Therefore, I have been syncing all uploads via rsync.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to run more than one WordPress server without file upload hassles, as it is not designed to be used in a cluster environment (moving everything to AWS with EC2 running server instances, RDS running the DB and S3 handling the files would be a good solution, but after I tested it out, it was not a cheap solution by any means, especially once you start spawning a few EC2 servers that would handle the back-end load). The two back-end web servers that handle PHP calls from the load balancer is where I installed JPEGmini server, although only the first one really matters, as it is the one that handles all uploads to the site (WordPress cannot handle this directly, so it is only possible to watch for wp-admin calls and direct them to the appropriate server via nginx/apache). First of all, I run CentOS Linux on every server (and there are a few of them).

Photographers Beware: this is a very technical review of software that is not related to photography. So I embarked on a new project – to save both traffic and money in the long run for PL, using the JPEGmini server. Given how much traffic PL serves worldwide on a day-to-day basis and the fact that images alone account for roughly 5 Terabytes of traffic per month, the thought of being able to compress JPEG images using the JPEGmini engine was something that I really wanted to implement sooner than later. Another use I immediately thought of, was the web server where Photography Life traffic originates from.

After I had a chance to test and review the JPEGmini Pro software, I realized how powerful this software is not just for exporting images and being part of a Lightroom workflow, but also for many other uses, including optimizing images that are already sitting on our large storage devices.
