Wild to get a "This project has received too many requests, please try again later." message for what I assume is just a static page. Makes me make a note to self not to use glitch.me
- ColinWright 4y agoglitch.me is clearly intended for small experiments, not for dealing with 10s of thousands of hits in just a few minutes. I'm getting the author to move it. Stand by ... OK, here: https://somethingorotherwhatever.com/wobble-clock/ https://somethingorotherwhatever.com/wobble-clock/
- majikandy 4y agoVery cool, can imagine that on my Apple Watch
- kailanb 4y agoit's back! worth noting that anyone can remix the project :) https://glitch.com/edit/#!/wobble-clock https://glitch.com/edit/#!/wobble-clock
- ColinWright 4y agoAs mentioned elsewhere, not my project.
- naillo 4y agoEven when I've got a front page article in the past on HN at like 150 votes I only got about 6000 views in a day. This one has like 10 likes so I doubt it's getting 10s of thousands in a minute. Can only imagine it's some severe rate limiting to push glitch.me users for some paid alternative.
- ColinWright 4y agoWhen some of my submissions have hit the front page I got a lot more that 6K views in a day, although probably 10K in some minutes is an overestimate, possibly by a lot. Agreed that it's probably glitch.me pushing people to a paid option, but there's no real problem with that ... they are a business providing a service.
- cori 4y agoWe love to see these sorts of projects running on Glitch with OR without a paid account! We do have some default protections in place to prevent (even accidentally) problematic projects from taking too many shared resources. We've temporarily removed those barriers for this project since it was getting such a big hug. It should stay up and be Remixable now. disclaimer: I'm on the engineering team at Glitch.
- kragen 4y agookay but this was maybe a few hundred thousand requests over about an hour for 536 bytes of html and two js files of respectively 2232 bytes and 2667 bytes like, an old netbook could serve up all those requests in 100 milliseconds with apache on a 9600 baud modem (5 kilobytes 300_000 times an hour is under 4 kilobits per second) are you hosting glitch.me on an amiga 500 on dialup in zimbabwe or something
- cori 4y agoI won't go into a ton of specifics, but we talk about the general limitations for projects here: https://help.glitch.com/kb/article/17-technical-restrictions/ https://help.glitch.com/kb/article/17-technical-restrictions...
- kragen 4y agoit sounds like you accidentally set your request rate limit about four orders of magnitude lower than the other limits, because you set them to 4000 requests per hour, which is about a ten-millionth of a laptop by contrast the 512 megabytes of ram is about a 64th of a laptop and the 712 megabytes of disk is about a thousandth of a laptop this results in absurd situations like this one, where a purely static web app collapsed under a load you could literally handle on a commodore 64 on dialup well, i guess with tls you might need a 25-MHz 386 on dialup
- anildash 4y agoTo be clear, we’ve got Glitch projects doing a lot more volume than that, especially for static apps. This one was hitting our rate-limiting but that was a bit of an outlier and should be fixed now.
- amelius 4y agoPerhaps they serve requests in bursts, just like how this clock works.
- wussboy 4y agoSome sort of "wobble server" technology?
