I will be closing new sign ups on Masto.host for the next days.

Nothing major going on, just want to take my time and evaluate how the infrastructure is handling the recent influx of traffic, install new servers and move things around.

Hope you understand 🐘

In case someone is interested to be notified once new sign ups are open, please send an email to [email protected] and I will let you know when that happens.
I'm glad to inform that Masto.host sign ups are open again: https://masto.host/pricing/ 🎉

@mastohost I'm curious, is there anything you can share about your infrastructure evaluation process over the paste month(s)? :)
Any unforeseen points of interest? Challenges given the sudden influx of users? Future-proofing that needed reconsidering?

Project phase 'post-mortems', so to say, always peek my interest. 👍

@FiXato There is really nothing new. All problematic points had been identified long ago.

The main issue I had is that the resource needs grew 20x in a week or so.

The way I scale things, I always leave room for a 4x growth but could not expect or afford to have extra resources for a 20x needs.

But yes, on the tech side nothing surprising came out of the growth, just add more RAM+CPU really :)

@mastohost thanks for sharing! 👍 That certainly makes sense. :)
