Regular reminder to cache the crap out of your marketing website and to put a CDN in front of it.

This. Cloudflare is dead simple to set up, but curling your own site and setting up a redirect to a cached version of your pages is also trivial for anyone who can competently operate nginx / apache.

Just put up a page with specs, no videos are needed. I have a framework laptop already which has been great, maybe one day there will be other laptops with no fan that are powerful like an apple arm.

They even said they had beefed up their servers to meet demand. I guess they need to add even more servers.

I wonder what exact tech stack are they using for the website? It genuinely seems to me that this kind of a website should be able to handle this level of traffic on a single $10/month VPS, nevermind require multiple servers. But I'm probably just out of touch with how modern webdev is done.

Especially if they’re fronting it with a CDN. The only things they should be hitting a DB for would be order process stuff and account mgmt.

Clearly they need repairable and upgradeable servers.

Site is back (with a warning/notice of it being slow) now

Hah, even the youtube video is constantly buffering for me. I guess I'll wait for a summary article.

the event starts at 27th min

That buzzing in the audio doesn't leave a good impression...

EU servers are still up, but very slow
