How have you dealt with increases in traffic, mk? Or is that a question better suited towards thenewgreen? Funny enough, I ran into a 502 Bad Gateway earlier today trying to surf Hubski. Not sure if it's tied to the recent influx of users.If a startup gets 100x more traffic, then the organization is faced with an immediate, overwhelming amount of work required to keep their service operating. So the startup spends time creating a more sophisticated hosting setup, or implements database sharding, or hires someone with an expertise in scaling.
