Sorry for the short period of downtime, our server couldn't handle the load. Someone pointed 100 ghash. I'm upgrading the EC2 instance.

Can't you use autoscaling? If CPU usage goes over X% for Y minutes, fire up a new instance and add it to the load balancer.
Yes, but the database and pool server is on a single instance. I would have to move the database on it's own instance before allowing auto-scaling to maintain data consistency.
Working on it.

Hey if you're going to go AWS, you might as well go the whole hog, right? Therefore, EC2 for compute and web frontend, RDS for relational database, DyanmoDB for NoSQL database, S3 for bulk storage of backups, (and an offline backup or 3 of course), CloudFront for website resources (.js, .css, image files, etc.), and of course CloudWatch for monitoring.
Wow, that would be expensive lol. Probably better not.
