This is covered early on in the article.

It's mentioned briefly in the article, but no instructions are given on how to properly configure busy_timeout and WAL to scale above more than a few concurrent writes per second.
It’s sad when most people discuss things based on a one line title of something they haven’t read. Many questions here were answered in that article. I recently asked someone on a different site “didn’t you read the article?”. The obvious answer I alluded to was “No, I don’t have time.” Yet they managed to post about 15 different comments asking more questions about the article (title). I really wish there was a way to have a public forum with proper discourse with the caveat that people must read the material before they comment on it.
The technical blog of the public broadcaster of Norway has implemented exactly this: https://nrkbeta.no/2017/08/10/with-a-quiz-to-comment-readers...

The quiz module is open-source (https://nrkbeta.no/2017/03/06/our-comment-quiz-module-is-now...) and available on github https://github.com/nrkbeta/nrkbetaquiz

Thanks for the links. :-)
