When I put up tls.ulfheim.net (a small-ish static site on a t2.micro) HN and Reddit were able to bring it down by maxing out the apache workers.

Some config changes fixed it right up, but my point is that it's not just the capabilities of the instance, the default http server configs might need some tweaking too.

Out of curiosity, what config changes did you use on apache?

Same questions here. I’m not sure I would know where to start on those particular configs

Maxrequestworkers, server limit?

IIRC it was MaxRequestWorkers to 1500, and MaxConnectionsPerChild to 0 (unlimited)
