Hi All, looking at self hosting fleet and curious if anyone has advice/guidance/info if i wanted to deploy Fleet with EC2s + ASG instead of using the ECS Fargate component? Using ECS is not supported at my org and rather not deploy using unsupported orchestration.
seems like it is possible since the web servers just need to communicate with the DBs/Cache. I see you can launch fleet as a systemd service?

Yeah you can write a fairly simple systemd unit file for fleet. I don’t have mine anymore as an example but it’s not super hard. We ran Fleet on a VM before we moved to Cloud Run (GCP)
You just have to way up then exactly how you pass your config in (envvar in the unit file, config file that you set in the unit file, etc)

curious what are ppl doing to trigger another EC2 or webserver at what threshold of either cpu usage/memory should one spin up another web server?
