Yes, sorry, got rate limited by the eBay API!

So you don't use a database to store all the data and update it when it needed? Are you allowed to scrape the data?

No webpage scraping is involved here, data is from the eBay API. It's not using any database at the moment, just in-memory caching in the Go server. Problem is there are a lot of cache misses which result in API calls of which eBay only allows 5000 a day.

Funnily, the website seems to be crashing due to the API issues while the web server is at <1% CPU utilization.
