This currently runs on a small VPS, which I can easily extend. For my largest server (mastodon.world) I am running on a dedicated server with 32cpu/256GB RAM so scaling is always possible :-)
How did you start out with hosting mastodon.world? I'm assuming you didn't immediately go to a dedicated 32cpu machine. What was the migration to the current dedicated machine like?
I started mastodon.world running in docker on a VM in Proxmox. Proxmox was installed on a (smaller) dedicated host at Hetzner. It was one of many services I ran from that docker host. Never thought it would grow that fast...
If you're interested I described what happened here: https://blog.mastodon.world/and-then-november-happened
The migration was easy, just rsync and update DNS.
Thanks for sharing that write up! Wasabi looks like a great way to keep media storage costs down.
I don't know what pgbouncer does but it sounds like it helped out.
