I was expecting to see more than that.

Anyway, Asia is the one that we can see like, like that pattern, but we also have like in Europe, sometimes we have these spikes and it's like this spike, which I wanted to focus on.

We know that someone in Frankfurt that connects to Frankfurt downloaded the static favicon 170,000 times in the span of, I know like an hour or two.

So they downloaded this like two, three hours.

So we get, you know, requests like this that are putting stress on these instances.

I mean, what potentially, that was like a past request as well, which means it like went through the cache, which means that they must have had like a cookie set up or something like that, that basically was preventing the cache from working in this case, which again, that's how it's supposed to work.

So anyway, I think, I think that was...

unfortunately not the best thing that we could have ended on but uh it's a thing and it's something food for thought like more work to be done there's many things that we didn't get to talk to we didn't have time for for example we didn't talk about the nightly by the way nightly now is being served by by the pipe dream as well um and the reason why we had to do this because that sometimes will get scraped would get hit really heavily um

It's a very small app.

It's NGINX.

But if I open it, so let's just click on that one.

And that's pull request 46.

Before it was basically topping up at 141 requests per second.

Now it's 1,300.

So it's almost like a 10X in order of magnitude faster.

The latency went way, way down.

So, and it's just the only thing we had to do is basically put Varnish in front of it.

nice well that's nice yeah that's one more thing there and you can go and have a look how it works it'd be like a benchmark here a small benchmark here uh that's it we have we have last one for the road but before we do that anything else we want to talk about before i share one last thought

Well, we could, we could set up some sort of throttling.

I think it'll be the easiest thing now, which will impact everyone.
