We are now hitting 500 active users during prime time and are bottlenecking hard on Lime, our webserver. Kiwi, the MySQL database, is getting near its capacity but for now it can handle the Database activity.

Tonight I will be adding Lemon as a secondary webserver using HHVM and reconfiguring my test server, Cherry, to load balance between Lemon and Lime.

This expense will add an extra $20/mo to our server costs.

I would do it now, but I'm pressed for time. I have to sort out my Filipino immigration papers. There's no harm in waiting until we're below 300 people before shutting it all done anyways, so whatever.


Thanks for the support guys. Sorry about the performance at the moment.
 
All of the fruit here, even cherries to an extent, are sour. Null, why can't you be sweet for once?

Rainier cherries are super sweet. The name is probably too long to fit in with the rest, though.
 
I would make a joke about how all the people who hate us will probably start throwing huge parties when our site goes down... but there are some people that already have started doing that.
