Three tasks today:
  1. resizing the db
  2. trying to optimize query performance
  3. tuning WoT
May I ask how big the db is already? I imagine it is still okay because it's mostly varchar instead of images or video.

The DB is small <2GB. I was resizing the server it runs on - we went from 2 to 4 cpus, 4 to 8 GB of memory ... I'm doing some silly things with a few queries and it's CPU intensive to query for the front page. Going to improve those queries but it'll be nice to have a performance buffer if I do something silly again.

That was some gnarly downtime. Yikes ... have to work on that.
