Heya, @danielajohonson
I’ll also recommend our Managed Database Product.
https://www.digitalocean.com/products/managed-databases/
The Platform offers auto-scaling should be suitable with your needs and in case you need more power to handle the requests you wont run into problems.

Heya,
If you are looking for a scalable product then the DigitalOcean’s Managed Databases product is for you.
It’s managed by DigitalOcean, you worry only about your Database and it’s the most scalabe solution there is.
If you want to manage your own stuff though, you can always go for a Droplet and install any database you want and run your App’s backend from there.
Hi there,
For a growing application like your Pokémon type calculator, I’d recommend upgrading to DigitalOcean’s Managed Databases. Specifically, a Managed PostgreSQL or Managed MySQL setup would be ideal, offering automated backups, high availability, and scalability to handle increased traffic and data processing needs. These services also provide performance insights and easy scaling options, ensuring your application runs smoothly as it grows.
For an even more scalable and efficient solution, consider combining the DigitalOcean’s Managed Databases with the DigitalOcean App Platform.
The App Platform offers automatic scaling, which ensures that your Pokémon type calculator can handle increased traffic without manual intervention. This combination allows your app to dynamically scale while benefiting from the robust, managed database backend, leading to optimal performance and minimal downtime as your user base grows.
Let me know if you have any other specific questions.
