Hi there,

I am currently building out a site with a Discourse droplet on Digital Ocean, that will host 20K-30K users over the course of July. I am trying to figure out the best storage option on DO in order to optimize my server. I had some problems with different software last year with crashing, so I am trying to avoid that if possible this year. What would you recommend?
