Load balancing is the way to go. Have you considered adding a cache to reduce the pressure? How’s the single DB holding so far?

well each instance is running redis , so they get the data from the db server and cache it, is that what you mean?

  Yes that’s fine. With 1000hit/s I’m assuming this is a read-heavy app, correct? If so, do you have any HTTP caching being done right behind the LB (ex: Varnish)?

  Yes, that’s the setup but it doesn’t have to be on its own droplet though that’s fine.
