I don't think it can be overstated how huge scaling up 35% capacity in a week is for a site reddit's size. Some VP of infrastructure is going to be very excited to give a presentation to the board of reddit in a few months about how their millions of dollars of investment actually paid off.

But yeah, we are pretty proud of it. And our team has been putting in a lot of great work for a while in order to pass this particular surprise stress test. For the record, head of Infrastructure here (and how did you get my presentation?).

It was, in fact, a lot of fun. Big props to the team, and for the record, CTO here. Hi.
