lemmy.ml is migrated to a new server (lemmy.ml)

Its now running on a dedicated server with 6 cores/12 threads and 32 gb ram. I hope this will be enough for the near future. Nevertheless, new users should still prefer to signup on other instances.

This server is financed from donations to the Lemmy project. If you want to support it, please consider donating.

I agree with the kubernetes point. Not every problem needs it.

I was more curious about having a load balancer infront of an autoscaling group of servers with the existing images that you are running off of, minus the self hosted database server. Then you would be able to handle spikes automatically. Just curious if that has been thought of.

Having it accessible to everyone is great. For sure. But I was just thinking that having stronger pieces of infrastructure for instances that handle more traffic might be beneficial.

So far it's not necessary and there are more urgent problems to fix.

I agree, lots of application improvements and bugs are probably your priority. That should always be the focus of the application developers. I honestly want to try and experiment with this idea now.

If I get a good repository going that focuses just on the infrastructure side of things, I will post it here.
