Browserver: a node.js HTTP server, in your browser

Re:Browserver: a node.js HTTP server, in your browser by sehrope on Friday August 10, 2012 @11:48AM (#4366647)

Anyone know if browserver.org is self hosting (i.e. running on some guys desktop/laptop in a browser window)? Site is down at the moment and I'm wondering if this is why.

Ha, tinco beat you to that joke. The server is the smallest instance that Joyent offers right now... hopefully it'll hang in there during the HN rush.

Would that happen to be one of the free http://no.de instances? Which if I recall correctly come with 128mb ram on their custom solaris servers... I always wondered what kind of load those small configurations using NodeJS while handling something non-trivial could do.

Could you share some traffic/load numbers from getting HN'ed?

Hard to tell right now... I started at Joyent's smallest node.js offering (1GB) and then ramped it up to 8GB when the load hit. The server is crashing a lot, but it's not very easy for me to debug right now.

Let me get back to you once the dust settles, deal?
