How Can I Make a Fantasy Hockey App Handle More Users Easily?

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.

Put everything online so it can grow on its own when more people use it. Pick a fast system for the main work, add a memory helper to keep things quick, and use a strong database that won’t slow down when lots of users show up. Keep things simple, let tasks run at the same time when possible, and focus on growing smoothly before adding cool extras.

Use tools that don’t need full servers so your app can grow fast when lots of people show up at once. Match this with a database that can spread the work and keep copies to stay quick. This helps everything run smoothly when traffic suddenly jumps, like during live events.

It kind of depends… mostly on how much work your backend does and some other things.

The most important thing is to keep it stateless so you can add more servers easily.

Besides that, we’d need a few more details to be sure.
