Number of daily requests has gone up closer to 6M

So... No microservices SPAs with noSQL database on top of kubernetes in a monorepo?

So disappointing.

No caching?

Interesting.

We use an Nginx front end for that. It all runs on the same box though.

Caching on the same box as everything else is running?

I'm guessing the server must have a ton of RAM, but that's probably why the site is super fast.
