Hi!
I’ve read through a lot of the documentation for Digital Ocean looking for a horizontal scaling solution similar to Amazon Web Services’s Auto Scaling, but couldn’t find anything. At this point, I’m looking at performance-based monitoring to trigger spinning up additional nodes in clusters via the Digital Ocean API, but am wondering if there is a built-in solution before I spend a lot of development time on this.
I’m not sure if this is relevant, but my environment will include exclusively CentOS 7 machines.
Thanks!

you can simply use DO API. we have some example configs here: https://github.com/magenx/Digitalocean-Auto-Scaling-Droplets-Auto-Scale-DIY
the idea is to check the load on master droplet and start new droplet if load is too high. configure it, rsync files and inject ip into load balancer.
Just found this , not sure if it will help someone. https://github.com/sergiovilar/digitalocean-elasticity
