does it make sense to use three droplets for my app?

Getting Started Networking Deployment Docker

I have an app which relies on one instance of mongoDB, one of elasticsearch, and a nodeJS app.

Typically, would a user run such a project with one droplet or three? I'm happy to use docker to set up mongo and elasticsearch too.

Any other tips?

Thanks for your advice!

    Really will depend on users/requests. If it's just a small app for development proof of concept you could run it all on one droplet.

    If you are expecting to scale it to >100 requests a minute, 2 (or 3) would be good places to start. Keeping nodeJS and mongo would be very beneficial.
