If only you'd planned for the traffic from HN!

Website looks down to me.

HN killed it. I dont understand why small projects dont start with a free plan from Cloudflare for example. It removes a lot of pain from your life.

Helps a blog, doesn't really help for the dynamic web-app bit.

Hi, I did consider to use cloudflare. However, I saw that at least business plan could help my service, but it is really out of the budget now.

[camidealweek]

Yes, you're right. I didn't plan well for this amount of traffic from HN. I've increased resources for the servers now, I hope you will go back and review it. Thanks.

noone can access it, yet it's on the front page - must be good :D

[goodoldboys]

perhaps its a new kind of market fit validation - you're only allowed to spin up a micro instance and if it gets overwhelmed, you've validated your idea!

[camidealweek]

Sorry for your bad experience. I did launch the service with 2 linode-2gb and 2 linode-1gb, and yes it didn't fit with the situation. I've increased the resources now. I hope that it will be a balance between my budget and server performance. Thanks for your message.

Congratulations: you have now provided incentive to use utterly untuned WordPress instead of static HTML or anything else faster.

[TheArcane]

Yup, down for me too.

[tbirrell]

Its still down

[bdukic]

For me as well.

Pwned. Hilarious. Feel free to downvote me everyone, but this made my day.
