Yeah part of having to scale up was (at times) removing features that were causing load and which were not essential to the core functionality of the site. Once we got ahead of things, we were able to turn everything back on.

Was this something you had prepared, like a metaphorical switch that disabled said features?

Or was it something you guys had to figure out on the spot? "Fuck it, we'll do it live" sort of deal?

I also noticed that the website worked more or less as advertised, but on mobile (my main platform) it was a mess. I assume mobile is the majority of traffic nowadays?

Thanks :)
