Hi,

 DM> Although I congratulate you on the efforts but wonder why you consider the need for a swarm for scaling up in the event of
 DM> demand.  The doorparty side of it, okay, I'll give you that.  Yet, still interested in the logic behind it.

Actually, the "auto scalling" using docker swarm was an exercise of me using this technology. I very much doubt that there is a market for this where the value of using swarm will be realised, but setting up "this" application with "that" technology gives me a real use case of how it works and gives me some skills and experience on how I could apply that technology in another setting.

Should pigs learn to fly, and BBSes become the Internet v2 and game servers become the new fad, then I'm ready ... :)

 DM> This makes sense... but why not auto-scaling groups in AWS?

I dont use AWS.

 DM> ARM, huh?  What platform for ARM?

Raspberry Pi.
