A static site would have saved you here, particularly if you are using something like nginx. Even with apache, you'd still be fine.
Wordpress cacheing HN traffic should do fine too. There's something else going on here.
- adbge 15y agoIndeed. I've been on the HN front page a couple of times with Jekyll generated sites (http://os-blog.com http://os-blog.com is one). Hosted on an Amazon micro instance (613 mb) and served by nginx, none of my sites have broken a sweat under the increased traffic. HN traffic isn't really that much. I was watching the stats under the new Google Analytics realtime mode and the site was averaging about 3 - 6 requests per second.
