Hi. I have a single Ubuntu droplet with Nodejs, nginx and mongodb running. I would like to move mongodb to seperate droplet to split the load. Please, give some advice regarding next questions: To allow app server connection to DB server, I can achieve it by enabling private networking for both droplets? After doing all manual setup (like in official guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/private-networking/quickstart/, should I add some sort of encryption to that connection? As I understand - no, because traffic between these droplets will only be visible to private network. Can I hide my database server from the public/Internet? If yes, then how I will connect to it via SSH for setup and administration? Should I use a DO Load Balancer, or I can just use nginx for that task as long as I have 1 application droplet? Thanks in advance!

App Platform: Run Node apps without managing servers Product

After well connected, client side automatically start sending multiple connection request everytime to socket.io
