- MonkeyMalarky 4y agoSeems like sound advice? Starting with DB clusters would be premature optimization, but designing your schema with the expectation that it will be on multiple instances later is sane. Kind of like building a monolith with the expectation that certain components will eventually be moved out into their own services.

- ChuckNorris89 4y agoModern Reddit for me runs like ass and I have a 2021 4.2GHz 8 core Ryzen CPU. I can't imagine what it's like on older systems where even my work Intel 9th gen was braking the site.
- MH15 4y agoIt’s incredible how slow their website is. I understand (but am against) their motivation to push everyone to the app on mobile devices, but on desktop where am I going to go? My powerful computers both struggle to render the site.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoI don't understand your issue. The website runs fine on our M1 Pro MacBooks we use for development so the problem must be on your end. /s
- mhh__ 4y agoRuns like a old dog there too
