It's down. I hope this blog doesn't run on Node.js

  No, it runs on drupal.

    That explains it all.

      To be fair, using varnish and proper cache modules with drupal, you can make drupal very immune to this sort of traffic.

        Core Drupal caching can handle a lot (my blog has handled the top spot in HN a couple times with only that without issue), and adding Varnish alone can scale it to huge traffic levels. The GP comment is just FUD.

    What I don't understand is why people don't get ready to take the hit; use a cached static version, use varnish, get more instances; just don't let it go down.
