The weakest link in Micro.blog’s server infrastructure remains our two Redis servers, which often get up to the breaking point of memory usage. That blew up today and I just finished restoring it. 48 GB memory is not enough, but I’m hesitant to do another upgrade… Need to trim the bloat instead.
@manton I wish I could be of any help. No clue. A lawyer in Spain of very little use. I just want to thank you for your work.
@jimmitchell A little, but mostly a cache that can be restored. If anything is missing, it should fix itself.
@manton That sounds like a real challenge, especially when memory limits are being pushed so hard. I wonder how the new Solid Cache (introduced in Rails 8) holds up under such load. Using the disk instead of memory sounds like a fair trade off in this case.
@manton Remarkable though that it is only 48 that keeps this place running. I would have a higher number if asked to guess.
@thisismissem Probably too many things. Lots of little caches, but primarily it’s used to power everything in the timeline with sorted sets.
