Is it still going to run on one machine, or are we going to get that cloud upgrade? Edit: Or did we already get that cloud upgrade and I missed it?

  Does it need to? What would the user facing benefit be? Never found HN to be slow.

    HN has had at least two server failures I can recall within the last year.

      Wasn't the last big "server failure" due to a hard drive kicking the bucket?
      • iancarroll 13y ago
        I don't exactly remember but a cloud solution would have prevented that. :) Edit: oh, I'm talking about failures that were not planned

          A pair of dedicated servers would have worked too. In my line everyone wants to use multiple threads, but the same thing stands: using the cloud doesn't fix everything.
