@drew_bratcher @crowddr I assume you see a lot of variability in load and traffic? Can you talk about how your system adapts -- is this primarily via auto-scaling? #devops #scaling

Drew Bratcher
yup, EBS allows us to set triggers, so once we start seeing traffic and load (generally on the node machines) it's set to spin up another. Minimizing spin up time has been something we focus on as it increases the responsiveness of the sys

Drew Bratcher
once the load decreases for a time, we spin machines down. And we get alerts whenever these events happen via email, so we can keep an eye on any unusual behavior

Crowd Doc
Adding to Drew, we don't use sticky sessions, thus it helps to evenly distribute both old and new load as it autoscales.

@CrowdDr Do socket.io sessions move around your servers as well?

This is an amazing application. I'm bringing it to all my clients and watch my competitors in my rear view mirror
