We are holding a binder workshop on Sun. from 9 am to 1 pm Swiss time with about 50 users: [https://github.com/ISMB-ECCB-2019-Tutorial-AM4/reproducible-computational-workflows](https://github.com/ISMB-ECCB-2019-Tutorial-AM4/reproducible-computational-workflows). Binder folks, is there anything you need to do about to support that capacity?
Thanks so much for all your help!

50 people shouldn’t be a problem and Sunday’s tend to be quiet days in [mybinder.org](http://mybinder.org) land.
The advice from [MP Workshop on MyBinder](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/mp-workshop-on-mybinder/1714/2) applies as well.

@betatim what do you think about creating a section in the docs called “what to consider if I want to run [mybinder.org](http://mybinder.org) for a workshop” and then we link to the thread in discourse? Or copy paste the text?

Or maybe a blog post - documentation double whammy?
The real short summary is:
- use a tag to avoid rebuilds
- have a backup plan
- smaller images mean faster launches
- workshops wit h50 participants are common, 100 is the limit
- no we won’t do anything special for your workshop
so maybe we can even tweet it 😉

Binder handled the 45 participants at our workshop without a problem. It was somewhat slow since everyone was creating new builds, but that was expected.
