Start with graceful degradation when things get tough? (Less comments, top friends,...).

Start with graceful degradation when things get tough? (Less comments, top friends,...).
- krakensden 16y agoMy initial worry about that would be datastore support- can you really do that efficiently with Postgres/memcached?
- shuri 16y agoIn memcached, caching smaller things should allow more to be cached. On the Postgres side, when the disks are hard at work any access is expensive but reading less should still help. Depending on the query you can try to get it to read less. In other situations maybe just turn stuff off. I don't know the specifics but simple things like not displaying the exact number of comments may help (counting stuff can be frustratingly expensive sometimes).
