Re:Ask HN: How many servers do you manage?

(#11545428)
At my day job, running >100 servers.
Those include
Web facing servers (Nginx+Rails)
SOLR clusters
MySQL clusters
Memcached
Redis
Most of the instances now include Docker images running on them, those host microservices that the main application is communicating with.
Everything is managed by Chef (including Docker orchestration), CircleCI for testing and deployment (Docker push and provision to the servers as well).
For side projects, I always choose Heroku for the simplicity of things, nothing really beats it for what I need.
I also have Digital Ocean with nginx on it, that's where my blog is hosted, proxying to S3 files.
