Let me know what you're interested in learning more about, and I'll see what I can share. If you're looking to dive deeper into specific details, we could discuss them further in a video call or similar.

I appreciate the offer to me personally but I was thinking about another public blogpost that goes into great specifics such as requests per second, cpu load, user base, but it's so app-specific that even then it's difficult to assess.

What I do notice - and I'm not saying this is true for you (I don't know) - is that people get excited about technology like kubernetes or something equivalent, but it creates an additional burden that is totally not proportional to the benefits of said technology.

Stupid load-balancing proxy servers with a bunch of hosts behind them is extremely uninteresting and boring. But it's dead simple, so reliable and easy to scale horizontal or vertical as well.

And most of all: how much do you save by dynamically upscaling and downscaling as opposed to just keeping a static environment.

If you want to share that kind of perspective, I'd rather see a public post about it that others may benefit from.
