I wonder if it is time for Server Upgrade.

HN was running on Xeon(R) CPU E5-2637 v4 [1], that is SandyBridge era. A 2 Core CPU serving 6M request a day.

If iPhone had more memory the whole of HN could be served from it.

I mean, if it's capable of handling the traffic, is there any reason to upgrade?

That's the wrong SKU, it's actually Haswell/Broadwell and 4c8t, not 2c4t: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/92983/i...
