Hi all,  
I am running my discourse on a single droplet on DO and I would like to create a more redundant setup. All the resources I found online points me in the direction of load balancer but for doing so I need to create an external DB droplet, move the DB from prod and so on.  
Does anyone have experience on something similar?

Thx!

F.
