Have been looking at the fly/Phoenix combo for a while
The one thing I can't wrap my head around is scaling, and the cost of scaling.
If this app magically exploded to 10,000 users at one time:
1. How do I scale with Fly.io? Can I autoscale, but somehow cap at a cost?
2. What parts of the stack would I have to pay attention to? Erlang/Elixir seem to handle a lot of the complication?
3. Are there (hidden?) costs that would concern me at fly.io with 10,000 simultaneous users? Or is there a clear way to estimate the costs at different points?
thank you - this looks very promising and (more importantly) fun!
