Hey guys-- I LOVE your product but I consistently get way-slower-than-it-should-be load times on all your pages and searches. Just now I got a 502 Bad Gateway

Hey guys-- I LOVE your product but I consistently get way-slower-than-it-should-be load times on all your pages and searches. Just now I got a 502 Bad Gateway. Looks like you have some growing pains, which is great, but I highly recommend investing in a cloud server :)

Yes, the search is very, very slow. Here from Japan it took at least one minute to get the results of a search. That's "fail" for a service like that. Too bad since the options for search are interesting, but it's way too slow for me to consider it usable.

  As a long term user with no vested interest in Adioso, it's normally fairly quick (ie. a few seconds at most). It's a great website - i've used it for a few years now - I think almost since day 1 :)

Agreed - it's a beautiful site, but way too slow. I get the following results on a search: Adioso Wingtip 31035 ms, Expedia 82331 ms, Cheapoair 38141 ms And the home page takes about 20-30 seconds to load. I'd love to hear about Adioso's backend - anyone from the company here to discuss it? Do you have any caching?

  Yeah I'm a co-founder, though not an engineer - they're all busy spinning up more servers :) We'll be writing more posts about the core tech in coming weeks, but feel free to let us know what you'd most like to know about.

    I've been doing some work with AWS/Heroku recently - just interested in if you're using a cloud service, VPS or physical servers, and what kind of tech powers the site. I'm looking forward to reading more posts and using the service when it's a bit snappier!

    The pages are also too wide. Having to do both horizontal and vertical scrolling is severe usability setback. (I do not run my browser maximized, because too many other sites (e.g. HN) would use up the whole window, making text hard to read. Text is much easier to read when the lines are reasonably short than when they extend across the whole monitor width. And besides, I want to see other windows on my desktop than just my browser.)
