@jerry@wbarker@hazelweakly Hmmm can you put a load balancer in between Nginx and your scaled-wide puma servers to abstract the puma namespace so Nginx sees one single DNS name and the load balancer takes care of the “route to the least loaded back-end puma host”? I don’t know enough about how the Nginx->puma addressing is done within the Mastodon stack to know whether inserting a load balancer here is possible, but that’s sure where I’d be looking.
