Hey everyone,
I’m starting to plan a fantasy hockey app, and I’m trying to think ahead. What kind of backend or setup will let the app handle a few thousand users when games get really busy?

Try using Node.js or Go for speed, PostgreSQL to organize your data, and Redis to store stuff temporarily. Put it on AWS or GCP with auto-scaling and load balancing. Use WebSockets so updates happen in real time.
