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!

This question was answered by @ethandrower:
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.
