       pixelfed.social is running on a single 16G intel optimized droplet, with an 8G database server (and another potential replica)we should have no problem accommodating a few thousand new users, last nov we peaked at more than double current MAUthat being said, I'm ready to scale out, and laravel supports read replicas via easy config (and horizon is scalable)!pixelfed federation is highly optimized (inbox and async concurrent outgoing), as are most APIs except the home feed, which I'm fixing

       @dansup Shouldn't big instances have auto-scaling?

       @dansup hmmm, in my experience auto-scaling saves money (you don't have to run larger instances unless you need to)

       @samir@m.fedica.com @dansup@mastodon.social in our experience, turning off features saves even more money. search is the first to go, for example.

       @purple True, and if you turn the whole thing off you save a whole lot more :=)
