That would be Drupal. Nail on the coffin. I'll be switching to Jekyll + Github Pages sooner than later.

- KaoruAoiShiho 14y agoJust need to set up caching. No reason not to. Edit: Static caching. Edit2: Wow, well, :(. Glad I'm out of that world now though.
- lefnire 14y agoBut I did :( Edit: Even using Boost
- lefnire 14y agoYeah - I had a previous post that was successful on HackerNews. Brought the site down, so I took it offline, enabled aggressive & static caching (was previously normal caching), as well as Boost. Imported database to prod, restarted - mostly fixed it, but had to boost my RAM to 1GB, then it survived the rest of the storm. With this happening again, at small 13 points for this post, I'm the same as you - glad to be out of that world.
- minimaxir 14y agoI recommend looking into Cloudflare. Even the free plan can handle HN spikes.
- paulgb 14y agoSince you're into the node world already, check out docpad (https://github.com/bevry/docpad https://github.com/bevry/docpad) instead of Jekyll. It doesn't have the same GitHub integration unfortunately, but it can still be hosted in a gh-pages branch.
- lefnire 14y agoYou're the second to recommend docpad in lieu, I'll give it a whirl
