Yo yo yo! Remember I promised to write about scaling mastodon.social to 43k users? I did it! https://medium.com/@Gargron/scaling-mastodon-1becde463090
@Gargron I'm also looking at seeing if I can deploy it on #kubernetes when I get some free time. I have a bit of experience from work and it's a good way to go for resilience and scaling.
@followthesam @Gargron I run my instance on kubernetes and some cheapo nodes, happy to answer any questions or share some code as necessary!
Highly recommend using helm if you aren't already!
@sharktopus What do you use for a DB? Postgres in a container? Not used helm, must read up on it.
@followthesam for now, yes I'm just running postgres in beefy container(s). My approach with this instance is basically to just do things the /wrong/ way but not shoot myself in the foot, and then improve whatever is stressing the most rather than trying to predict what is going to break. I'd like to try out the google cloud postgres offering but can't justify spending the money for it just yet.
