Oh my. Data needs no sleep, but I do.

Welcome to all the new users, and thanks for the exercise! We will be spending the next few days adjusting, and getting things into tip top shape.

I look forward to chatting more and troubleshooting a bit less.

Welcome to Hubski.

I'm super curious as to the setup behind the URL. I work in web infrastructure and host numerous websites for automated bank processing. Just curious, is there any information anywhere about how Hubski runs and what you guys are using as far as servers/loadbalancers/solutions used? I've heard you talk about the Hubski infrastructure in bits and pieces over the place, but never seen the big picture. Mostly just curious about how many servers you have any their roles and how it's kind of logically separated.

I understand if there isn't any information you feel like handing out. I'm just curious. :)

ATM it feels like we are running on hamster wheels. :) I'll share some stuff when I have a bit of time. The short story is that we are running an Arc server (one machine) behind an nginx reverse proxy. Hacker News pulls it off (mostly), and we are learning how. Our quickest fix since the influx was to drastically reduce data in memory, and resize. Now we are doing more targeted things.

When I was making an account, I skipped the e-mail part and it refreshed the page and deleted email/password I already typed in. Not really problem, but it might be an annoyance to people that wish to become new users.
