Unresponsive with many Antminers

The Dashboard is unresponsive with hundreds of Antminer S9's while running on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
Yep, I know, unfortunately Minera is not able to handle hundreds of machines.
I wanted to wait for @michelem09 response, because i remember, he already mentioned this somewhere.
I was thinking a lot about the topic already, and a logical solution would be to have some background daemon, that continously polls the huge amount of networked miners, and a frontend could use the timestamp of the responses to see non-responding miners, and to create the statistical information the mining-operator wants to see,
Sure it's possible and probably the right way to go, the problem is the lack of time to put my hands on Minera.
It is still hypothesis, i only wanted to note, that managing 50-100 + networked miners is not an easy task. Additionally to the lack of time, my missing/insufficient knowledge of programming is also a show stopper.
I know, you need lot of things to be setup, starting from a DB to store stats (now there is a Redis only for basic stuff), then you need to setup a polller that regurarly asks for stats to every miner, store stats in DB and via a websocket sends update to the browser.
Not so hard but not so easy too.
