Nope sorry, still using Apache 2. :-|
Hello,

Yep, the site already uses a caching plugin (w3TotalCache) and it is configured with memcached at the backend. Unfortunately, even with this the site still makes a couple of DB calls with each page load, but nowhere near as many as without the caching. Maybe I'll shove varnish in front of it too for good measure :joy:

Yes, it seems I did not anticipate such traffic and my autoscaling settings did not allow the front end web servers pool to expand big enough. It is times like this I wonder why I switched back to WordPress compared to hosting statically generated content on S3 + Cloud Front :-(. It should be back now, apologies.
I think this would not work because the HonSSH server with the HonSSH user is hosting a proxy service. The user gets dumped into an actual vanilla looking Linux host at the backend.
