Awesome, this is super helpful! I'd be using a very similar setup. It might be best to start small, invite a couple people on, and see how that memory scales. I'll be avoiding any auto-scaling unless it becomes a much bigger project.
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.
