Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that provides secure command-line access to a remote server. By using SSH, you can remotely log in and run commands as if you were sitting right at the server.

The benefit of using SSH over other methods of remote access is that, as the name suggests, communications are securely encrypted, protecting the traffic flowing to and from the server. Data is encrypted at both ends of the client/server connection using a digital security certificate and access credentials are also protected.

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS). Its name is a combination of My and SQL the abbreviation for Structured Query Language. A relational database organizes data into one or more data tables in which data types may be related to each other; these relations help structure the data. SQL is a language programmers use to create, modify and extract data from the relational database, as well as control user access to the database.

Many applications start their web server and database hosted on the same machine. It's simpler, cheaper and easier to manage. However, as our application grows , a setup like this can bring security issues and scalability problems. A common solution is to separate our database from the application: creating a dedicated database server and allowing applications to connect remotely. This setup is more secure, it can provide you a better analysis of the bottlenecks and definitely makes the scalability easier.
