I thought this was an interesting remark. Can anyone clue me in to what these "many users" might be doing, that requires them to reload configuration so frequently?

- fweespeech 11y agoI know of at least one VPS company that build its load balancer SaaS offering on NGINX and it automatically reloads whenever a node is added/removed. So I would assume it was that function that would cause such rapid reloads. [e.g. If you had a 50 node pool, you might go +/-5 over a span of a second and change the config 5 times in 1s]
