Well, ideally each service would have their own dedicated resources to begin with. But, given all of the lemmy services + Postgres are running on 2 cores with 2GB of RAM, that’s pretty impressive.
Anyway, autoscaling doesn’t necessarily solve scaling issues without a lot of thought and planning. It’s not always as simple as throwing more hardware at the problem, as I’m sure you already know.
Good question. I don’t know. Hypothetically speaking, if the parent instance of the community changes the relevant data in the database to another instance, would federation take over and automatically propagate the change? 🤷🏻♂️
Sounds like an interesting experiment at least, or a possible major bug waiting to happen.
