Yeah - 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.
