This is more just basic requirements of ANY application requiring HA. A MediaWiki install I manage has a more complicated deployment, files reside on DigitalOcean spaces so there’s no NFS bullshit but there’s still multiple instances each of nginx-ingress, trafficserver, memcached, mysql, nginx/php-fpm, keycloak, cronjobs to run background tasks and a managed load balancer in front of it all. Still, then bill in comparison to AWS is cheap - base costs are $125USD/mo for the 6 droplets and spaces storage. We just enabled auto scaling for the MediaWiki instances so it can vary a bit now, but traffic is bursty so it won’t go up by much.
