Hey Shane,

With DigitalOcean, you can spin up more Droplets or use App Platform to automatically scale based on traffic. You can also store and serve video files efficiently with Spaces + CDN for global delivery and low latency.

If your app grows, managed services like Managed Databases and Load Balancers help you handle high traffic while keeping performance stable. It’s basically plug-and-play scalability without having to manage all the infrastructure manually.

Heya, @shanecorn

With DigitalOcean, you can scale your compute and storage resources up or down in real time based on viewer demand. For example, during a big event or live stream, you can quickly provision extra Droplets or containers, then scale back afterwards to save costs. You can also integrate edge caching through a CDN to keep video delivery smooth for users around the world.

Hope that this helps!
