Hi all! Simple question, really just want to get a feel for what everyone else is doing here.

When it comes to, well, exactly what the title says, are most of you guys just isolating your distributed nodes within a vpc and then having an application load balancer/network load balancer sit in top to validate authentication? I don’t imagine anyone is running http requests WITH bearer auth directly to a cowboy server at like 10-20k sustained requests/second, but I could be wrong?

Again, just curious and hoping to potentially spark some constructive conversation here. Thank you!
