This is an Cloudflare Worker issue right now. Although I have no idea what the site is and why does it not work.
Most site, on simple page like CMS or wiki should be static. And serving it from cache even a $5 VPS could do a few hundred page view per second, or 1000+ Request per second. I dont believe HN generate these amount of traffic. From previous note on other HN front page page it is actually much smaller than most expected. Something like IIRC 30K to 50K Page views - over the course of 24 hours.
- lionkor 1y agoA $5 vps can handle around 15k req/s with a normal setup (you then hit the limit of what a webserver can serve, maybe up to 35k but then it's really over). Mind you, at that point you serve more requests slower, before that you don't even notice a latency increase.
- ksec 1y agoYeah I was thinking of being limited by the pipe of 100mbps rather than CPU. But I just checked on Linode and DO turns out those low cost VPS no longer has this limitations. I guess I need to update my mental model. Just shows again we really don't need CDN for most things. Just keep it simple.

- genewitch 1y agoFunctionally a raspberry pi 2, that's what I consider $5/month tier. AWS had the t1.micro, but they also have the tiny lightsail VMs, ~1vcpu, 512mb RAM, slow disk, 100-1000mbit nic.
