For the OP/Author: The link is not working for me at the time of posting this comment. I get "Error establishing a database connection". I think you got the HN hug of death

Still dont understand why is CDN, or something basic like caching not on by default in 2021.

You don't actually need a CDN or caching to survive being on the HN frontpage: https://xyrillian.de/thoughts/posts/latency-matters-aftermat...

Or maybe a somewhat crazy solution like static HTML files ...

I actually think static HTML is not a "crazy" solution at all. For like 99% of blog there is no need for a Database for dynamic page view. Modern CPU and SSD is so fast just regenerate all the page. Not using something nerdy like the JAMstack, go back to good old FrontPage or Dreamweaver style.
