What is easier to scale, Go with Docker and Kubernetes or Erlang / Elixir + OTP?

A nohogu.com , one of my personal projects is running on a basic digital ocean server with postgres and ubuntu 1804. Only S3 is leveraged outside. (consider codes aren’t optimized, site is still in beta.) Much faster than the past rails server at no compromise.

Is it a Phoenix monolith?

Right, nohogu.com is Phoenix monolith. And there’s another running on Elixir & kubernetes, youspur.com. Kubernetes is more comfortable to operate than EC2, but it costs more and consumes metric overhead.

If I don’t need to worry about TCO, I’d choose kubernetes.
