But first of all, I would check what is the request I'm getting, how many, and what is the size of it. And regarding it in comparison to the dev stack we have, what are the requirements to fulfill the current load? Either I can horizontally scale or vertically scale, depending on the situation or depending on the size and cost. We can either scale the servers or at least scale them and have auto-scaling with a load balancer.

How do you optimize Docker container usage for Node. Js and React application?
