Seeing how "basic" the site is made me think how little we hear about getting Slashdotted these days. Obviously not literally, but back in say, 2010, if a site like this reached the front page of /., reddit, or HN, you'd expect it to blow up immediately.
- arnoxmp 5y agoI can't talk about /. and reddit, but HN barely moves the needle. Today the logs say that there are ~5800 page views with a referrer from HN. CPU load: 0.07 :o) The nice thing about "basic sites" is that they don't use many resources. SL runs on a dedicated (bare metal/root) server on Hetzner (along several other services), and as long as the working set of the DB fits into memory (for Sensei's this is ~500MB) I'd argue that it withstands /., but probably not the reddit frontpage.
