Infrastructure-related questions that might be interesting for internal dgraph management. **DGRAPH SCALING** - What are your best practices for scaling dgraph clusters? - How can autoscaling be properly achieved in a Kubernetes cluster? - How are sharding and replication managed during scale-up? - How are sharding and replication managed during scale-down? **BACKUP MANAGEMENT** - What are the best practices for data backup? - Which system data are absolutely critical for restore points? - What are the best practices for disaster recovery (i.e. what to do after a disaster happened)? - What to do if there is data corruption in badger? **MISCELLANEOUS** - Is an official integration with Datadog coming up (monitoring/tracing)? - How does ludicrous mode work? When should it be used? ---

@dmai @mrjn [https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/) this is the datadog integrations that I was referring to as “official integration”. FYI.
