@ Dethyl: The server will indeed be able to handle event level loads. The capacity of the servers are not scaled and can be adjusted accordingly to traffic stats. wait what? If it isn't scaled then how are we going to handle sudden and persistent influx in traffic?

Although I do not want to link this since it's not yet complete, but I've discussed this in my own blog.

Scaling means load balancing and increasing number of servers when traffic demands it, which translates to NodeBalancer for the new server since its using linode.

There is no auto-scaling if you're just using one server. You will need to stop that single server and upgrade it, which means down time.
