 I would run a few relays if I could just spin up some droplets in DO

 More relays is not the solution, client has finite resources and expensive bandwidth. 🐶🐾🫡

 Relay is just a DB, that’s all. You have a DB that has a JSON WS interface that client connects to. Having more DBs just increases the number of small DBs that run in the vacuum. If nobody writes to it then it is useless. 🐶🐾🫡
