From 8 cores to 36 cores processing power, let's see how the new database server holds up. Hopefully everything will be much faster from now on, but it should also give me a bit more room to scale horizontally.
@Gargron it is working!!! Thanks Eugen πŸ₯³
@Gargron I feel the new speed right away :o Thank you!
@Gargron Awesome, thank you for the great work :)
@Gargron So far so good. Loads up instantly now.
@Gargron woo hoo! Many thanks for building this platform. I wish I understood how it works earlier! But as they say, better late than never!
@Gargron Monstrous. (In any case, seriously considering setting up an instance for me and a small community to ease the load here.) #fediverse #federation
@Gargron Also most DB engines really need a sh*t-ton of RAM. If the DB has to go to disk - even SSD - you’re in a world of pain. Biggest challenge is to balance RAM / CPU. Sometimes need to tweak OS VM paging parms as well. A good DB does its own paging, as these workloads differ greatly from regular processes.
@Gargron Most DB setups using shared-nothing clustering/sharding aren’t to increase CPU counts, but rather to increase available RAM.

@Gargron

Approaching lightspeed! 🀩

@Gargron I am noticing a vast improvement already. Thank you.
@Gargron is it possible to donate to you personally for your time and work? Or for your server bill?

@Gargron thanks for your hard work!
@Gargron Tens Γ© de trazer mais gajas pra cΓ‘. Isto anda muito fraco em termos de gajas. E depois dΓ‘ um jeito nas DMs, porque eu nΓ£o quero ver pilas no feed, ok? VΓ‘, um abraΓ§o e boa continuaΓ§Γ£o.
@eusouzarolho @Gargron Mas sΓ³ gajas de Ermesinde! Que essas sΓ£o mesmo boas.
@Gargron πŸ‘Œ 😍 πŸ‘
thanks for all the hard work. Maybe a dumb question but does this run in the cloud? If so, what is the setup (curious) and if not, like to learn why not
@Gargron Seems to be making a huge difference πŸŽ‰
Keep up the great work!
@Gargron Thank you 🍻 Instant improvement!
@Gargron Feels like an instant improvement!
@malcolm @Gargron Yep - much more "nippy", as we say here in the UK!

@Gargron Thanks a lot 😊
@Gargron it's working well and faster now! Thanks mate, time to relax a bit!
@Gargron Awesome, so much quicker. Thank you so much!

@Gargron I assume it's active, 'cause everything feels really speedy again...

(Thanks so much for all you do - and, get some rest!)

@Gargron These requests are going through sooooo much faster! Thank you! πŸ’―
@Gargron Nice, thank you very much. Feels noticeably faster πŸ‘Œ
@Gargron thank you!
Was this maintenance the ground for the lags and slowness this day?
@Gargron It's notable faster. You are doing awesome work πŸ‘ .
@Gargron great work! Thank you so much 😊
@Gargron Kudos that it survived without major crash!
@Gargron well, was very slow, with continues time outs untill a little while ago.
suddenly very, very smooth! good job!
@Gargron it's working πŸ‘Œ
@Gargron Big improvement. It feels really snappy. Thank you so much for your efforts.
@Gargron can you share the donate link?

@Gargron I very much hope, you can sleep now at least for a couple of hours.

Amazing engagement. Chappeau!

@Gargron Thanks a lot! What is surprising to me is that it was working on just 8 cores before... Wow!
@Gargron Oh my, the difference already πŸš€
@Gargron Vielen Dank Eugen for your efforts. I'm sure it will be amazing.
@Gargron Thank You Sir. Happy Wednesday from the Sunshine State. 🌞🍁
@Gargron DankeschΓΆn Eugen! How can I support you?
@Gargron Definitely feels a *lot* faster! Thank you for all the hard work!
@Gargron Yes, it is much much better! And it was absolutely necessary. I almost quit because of it. Great step forwards. Thanks.
