The software is fine, it can handle a few thousand active simultaneous connections on a fairly standard machine, and is indefinitely horizontally scalable (limited of course by whatever DB you use). I'm pretty sure the admins just haven't specced it for more than the low loads they normally get.

- sudosysgen 3y agoThat should be within what it can scale to with donation-level support, given some optimization. As it is right now, there are live updates via websockets for all active users, some queries can be optimized dramatically, and there is no sharding - the running costs are 30EUR/month. With a few thousand a month and some smart optimization, 2k requests/s is not out of the realm of possibility.
