I wanted something relatively easy to propagate so I only add what I need in the future since I’m just starting out now. If the load balances relatively equally to each droplet doesn’t that make the server less likely to fail unless the server where the droplet is fails? So for example I get the 8GB droplet, split it in half separate docker containers for the data and web (so 2 of each) I load balance them so I alternate between which one is more available.
