Relays Help!

Nostr noob and devops-in-training needs advice on server architecture and hosting infrastructure for a relay cluster. I have lots of questions and a few sats for an experienced relay host only.

- will have a paid “main” relay with temp storage for all verified users @ vote.gold, available for any nostr user with one time registration fee.

- will spin up private relays for teams at subdomain.vote.gold, with archival storage and a one time fee + monthly storage fee.

- will have a dashboard UI to get verified @ vote.gold usernames and to register subdomains, configure & monitor relays, and top up sats.

What would hosting architecture look like? Can host multiple relays on a single VPs? How do containers and kebernetes fit into all this? What an I looking at in monthly cost per instance? How do I know what compute resources I will need? How to start and how to scale? Pro tips?

I've been working on an opensource project you may be interested in. Especially if you can modify it to suit your needs (nextjs). It handles the deployments and configs for haproxy+strfry. It doesn't take much resources, you can run it on a single VPS for quite a while before expanding to a cluster.

I have quite a bit of homework to do for packaging it and publishing some container builds but.. I need to work on that stuff anyway, so if you're interested hmu.
