Out of curiosity, it looks like it's down right now. Can you provide some info about why? I thought the node stuff was supposed to be able to handle all the simultaneous traffic requests with ease. Just curious!
- jedsmith 16y agoI really hate when something being down automatically translates in peoples' minds to a reflection upon the tools. That's like blaming plow manufacturers for a snow day; while possible, there's far more explanations that are likely before plow failure is a consideration, such as a lack of manpower to drive the plows. I see this at an ISP, too, all day long: oh, my site's down, what's wrong with your platform?
- true_religion 16y agoIt's not 'automatic'. The above poster asked about excluding the possibility of the tool being poor as opposed to the infrastructure being bad, or the tool wielder lacking competency.
- jedsmith 16y agoI have to disagree, based upon my reading the question. "You're down. Why? I thought Node could handle it." I don't have any stock invested in Node, personally, but it sounded like a conclusion had already been made by the asker.
- true_religion 16y agoHere's an analogy. Man to Plumber: "The pipe burst! What happened? I thought that steel could handle that water pressure". Subtext: Which is it: do I not really know what steel can handle, did you expect lower pressure than you got, or are you just a bad plumber?
- codeslush 16y agojedsmith - I asked the question not to imply that it was because of node, but because the outage correlated back to the post (i.e. spike in traffic) and I honestly wanted to know the cause. It not node, then what? I think it was a perfectly valid question and sorry if I offended you or anyone else.
- jedsmith 16y agoFair enough. You didn't offend me, I just see that sort of conclusion quite a bit; I think it was the way you worded it.
- callmevlad 16y agoI got this while visiting Nodester.com repeatedly: The application is not running.. ECONNREFUSED, Connection refused Looks like they have/had some issues at their level.
- cmatthieu 16y agolooks like Nodester ran out of disk space :) It's back online...
