Hi there,
I am currently building out a site with a Discourse droplet, that will host 20K-30K users over the course of July. I am trying to figure out the best storage option on Discourse in order to optimize my server. I had some problems with different software last year with crashing, so I am trying to avoid that if possible this year. What would you recommend?

Hello,
Discourse works well on a single Droplet using DigitalOcean’s one-click install, but as your community grows, it could outgrow a single Droplet. Using multiple Droplets provides your community with resiliency if one of your Droplets goes offline. Each Droplet also increases your bandwidth allowance.
When using multiple Droplets, a Load Balancer can help scale your deployment and bring high-availability to your web app. Finally, a Managed Database instance ensures a consistent user experience across multiple Droplets.
