I know that @grunfink's snac isn't trying to solve the same thing, but I can't help but wonder if its svelte source in ANSIC might handle a larger influx of usage better given it is doubtlessly a lot more memory and CPU efficient than the above?

Kolmogorov complexity reduction is, generally speaking: a win.

@teajaygrey @ernest@kbin.social @grunfink You're probably correct. However my original post was pointing out that until just a few days ago this was a hobbiest project that was running perfectly well on a small virtual server.

In the last couple of days it's been put through probably the most extreme end-user beta-testing process imaginable.

I don't want to put words into @ernest@karab.in's mouth but I expect that tuning for performance and scalability was way, way down on the TODO list compared to getting some of the basic features running. And rewriting the whole thing using a more performant stack - well generally that's something that happens a couple of years into a successful project's lifetime, not a few months after the very first commit!

@losttourist Yeah, I seem to recall after the dreaded birdsite migration of Eternal September 2022, event someone (was it @Gargron or @SDF I am forgetting now) spun up a Mastodon instance on some hardware with 72GB of RAM.

Which, is still about half what blade servers had that I was administering circa 2015, but capacity planning for sudden influxes isn't easy, even with budgets and paid ops teams.

It's a lot more challenging with nascent hobby projects.

Maybe we need a new term for the variation of slashdot effect concordent with some surveillance capitalism SaaS implosion? I get the impression, they're only going to continue with more frequency, both because: more people are waking up, and the libre/free open source alternatives are continuing to improve!
