Seeing this wiki hugged to death by HN makes me realize that it would be perfect for migrating to some simple cloud hosting and using static markdown in git. All their maintainers are already technical enough to handle doing updates in git. And with certain static doc generators like mkdocs you can have an Edit link in each page that brings the user to a Gitlab repo with an editor and Preview.

Throwing everything at another company so you can blame your outages on them does not a better engineer make. This site is just doing something silly dynamically for something that should be static (e.g. reading from a database). A single modern computer can easily handle the HN hug of death serving static files.
