@Gargron It already feels smoother. Great work!

@Gargron This indeed makes a huge difference; thanks! 🙏

@Gargron Now its working! Thank you so mich for your effort💪

@Gargron super fast now. Smooth experience. Thank you so much.

@Gargron I guess time is not your friend right now, but this would be a super interesting blogpost :sickmeme:

@Gargron chillll Eugen, the easy pace is a relief here, no need to be superfast, we got your back

@Gargron that speed. 🕺

@Gargron Working great, thank you SO much for all the hard work of the last week! Get some rest! ❤️

@Gargron are there servers that can use couchbase as their db?

@Gargron I could tell right away, HUGE difference, Thx!

@Gargron appreciate all your hard work. You are a superstar! 👏

@Gargron just out of curiosity, isn't vertical scaling an option?

@Gargron works like a charm now! Thank you for your hard work

@Gargron I'm noticing a *huge* difference 👍

@Gargron Thank you for all you've been doing and for being so transparent with everything.

All of that is just one more reason why it's nice being here.

Things have certainly improved speed wise for me over the past hour or so alone.

Quick question if you don't mind me asking, do you have any time frame you're hoping for account creation to be enabled again?

@Gargron that is around 400 to 800 euros a month

@Gargron Thank you so much!

@Gargron Thank you so much! The performance is way FASTER now

@Gargron your hard work pays off. Thanks for everything!

@Gargron toooooooooooo fast 😄

@Gargron You're doing exceptionality well dealing with an induced Blue bird avalanche.

Chill out, everything will be ok :)

@Gargron but is it #webscale 😜?

(Apologies if jokes are not etiquette, though it must be eternal September now)

@Gargron it does seem a lot zippier today. Good job!

@Gargron thank you for all the work you’ve done to handle the influx. 👍

@Gargron nice, works like a charm! Question: is instance-moving switched off for this instance because of the server troubles? I can't migrate, this server says “xyz is not an alias of this account” although I have done that and checked and re-done it several times.

@Gargron Awsome!

@Gargron You did an amazing job there! It's a night and day difference. The last days, Mastodon was actually unusable. Such a big improvement now.💪🙏

@Gargron Muy buen trabajo, seguiré utilizando la plataforma, es muy entretenida. 😎

@Gargron thats realy good

@Gargron Thank you! Before use this instance, I'm on mastodon.social, two days ago I move to this instance which manage by you as well, because always freeze. I believe it's because a lot new users from Twitter

@Gargron keep up the awesome work, also let us know where we can send you some donations. Infrastructure isn't cheap

@Gargron it's very responsive today!

@Gargron Night and day difference!

@Gargron I wonder if it wouldn’t be better if we try to replace PostgreSQL with a high available distributed and compatible implementation such as Yugabytes (cc @FranckPachot ), maybe we’ll be able to horizontally scale on the cloud :) https://www.yugabyte.com

@Gargron Wow, woke up in an entire new Mastondon world. Fast and furious. You are amazing! 🙏

@Gargron ❤️ https://mastodon.social/@Liquidream/109276933326033888

@Gargron Somebody asked a good question in terms of time-series data with mastodon and if there'd be a use where #TimescaleDb could help simplify / speed things up. Happy to investigate / help with the integration.

@Gargron thank you!

@Gargron working great! Thanks!!

@Gargron Super, works like a charm atm 👍😁

@Gargron wow. That’s an incredible performance increase. Thank you so much 🙏

@Gargron Just wondered if there was a way to donate that didn't involve Patreon?

@Gargron Great to hear! For future horizontal scaling: How about balancing load across some read-only db mirrors? I guess eventual consistency doesn't hurt this kind of application and most load comes from read requests. Keep your main db for writes only.

@Gargron 🙏🏼

@Gargron Läuft! Herzlichen Dank!

@Gargron Corezang!

@Gargron No more lags, thank.

@Gargron its working great. Thank you!

@Gargron you are doing God's work brother

@Gargron thanks for your work 🙏

@Gargron how old is mastadon social?

@Gargron Scaling horizontally like the Fediverse! 🤘

@Gargron 👍 Nice to know what might be just ahead of ourselves mid- to long-term.

And since mastodon.social keeps lagging occasionally: if the DB server turns out to be the culprit, have you considered or even tried using a CockroachDB cluster as a drop-in replacement for PostgreSQL? Can you think of any obstacles?

@Gargron I see you're using Hetzner servers. When ordering new ones please take a look at their RX series (with ARM64 processors). These are real, 80 cores, beasts with outstanding performance.

@Gargron Which database are you using?
#TeamAMD or #TeamIntel or #TeamARMOther
