So what happened to the HN server?
Saturday, I thought: "This guy (PG) is really brave, everybody is nowadays using virtualized server environments on mulit-core machines and PG just gets some bare metal and puts his app on one core and one thread. WTF, this guy is a genius, single-threaded apps on bare metal FTW, this is so great and I am doing this too."After seeing this thing down for several hours -- and Google hate downtimes, they punish you instantly -- I think: "Maybe not."However, happy to hear what went wrong and why we still should go for the bare metal thing.
