Note: I am not certain if this is a bug in Discourse. I have tried to collect necessary evidence, and so far I have not found anything pointing to our infra/setup. Our configuration is as vanilla as as possible at Tappara.co Observed phenomenom: Chat-like rapid discussion topics stop updating auto…

[image] Falco: solution: :moneybag: Solution: Make leaner and meaner code :wink: So if Redis is the bottleneck, how would you scale horizontally? It still puzzles me what has changed since last season. I can’t see that much organic growth, or increase in game chat popularity. Still our capa…

[image] ljpp: It still puzzles me what has changed since last season. Until you can collect metrics on your historic instance of Discourse and then compare to the metrics you collect on your current install, while maintaining the exact same hardware, this will remain a mystery The whole diff…

Please do not speculate on pushing the issue to the VPS provider. UpCloud is one of the best on the market, and they have checked their end for anything out of the ordinary.

The hockey season is ruined by the COVID, and they are now playing a few random games without audience. Since we do have hosting credits with UpCloud.com , we are pushing to improve the experience using what we got. Now running the 6x vCore 16GB for web_only and 4x vCore 8GB for data, unicorns at 18. …

[image] ljpp: Is there an environtment variable to increase the thresold for extreme load - read only mode -limiter, or can it be disabled completely? This should not be needed, we would love to host you so we can get to the bottom of why this keeps tripping you even though you have such low …

[image] sam: This should not be needed Perhaps so, but we would like to be slightly less protective over the server as the naturally occuring activity spikes are very short, and generally stabilize within a minute or so. So adjusting the thresolds just a little bit higher might improve the UX…
