Thanks for clarification. On one hand I’m happy about you sharing this experience. On the other hand, I still feel we can’t assess the true value as it would require disclosing important information that you’d likely not be allowed to share.
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.
