Hi, we're looking for a server architecture that will allow for converting 1000 images in 5 seconds. As a test, we ran some benchmarks using a 48GB (16 core) droplet, using GNU Parallel to run 1,000 image conversions....

Is private networking available through a digtialocean load balancer?

I'd like to set up, potentially, hundreds of 512mb droplets to tackle 10,000+ image conversions per hour. Is this is a good use-case for DO's new load balancers? If so, what could the basic design/architecture look li...

I have a cluster of droplets that complete video transcoding jobs when available. In order to serve the videos to the user, I need to store these videos in a central location (block storage on the my main server). Wha...
