Haha yeah, it received 12,000 clicks in the space of about 1 hour or so which took it down. Node is good, but it couldn't handle that many clicks.



Isn't that about 3 clicks a second? Was there a database issue?


It seemed the server at times would get hammered and there would be a kind of race condition happening causing a variable for the clicks I am incrementing to have a value of undefined at times (no idea). I was using nodemon instead of forever.js, so when the error would occur, it wouldn't restart. It's all good now.


On average. I suspect his clicks were bursty.
