I am the author here. Let me give you more context on this.

1. My Saas platform supports custom domains including naked domains and not just subdomains so it is important for me that the IP address remains the same when I add more capacity. I am running a single large droplet as of now and when I tried to add more instance + LB, DO wouldn't let me do that. Several people have asked this feature if you look in their forums. Unless I run and manage my own Haproxy/Nginx boxes, I cannot scale up.

2. This is currently a side project and I do not have additional time to maintain more resources which is why I am willing to spend more on a platform that provides me these features. This is not due to laziness as some people have commented.
