Well it looks like we got crash.co back up amid crazy traffic surge.

So sorry for the down-time!

That's a CEO failure there...I told the team "we might get a little traffic bump if I go on the news"

Oops.

What server setup is run?

Heroku. We maxed it out instantly at 20k requests/minute and after that everything broke so we couldn't even see how many were coming in.

Down for about 20 mins until it lowered to 2k/min.

I'm beating myself up over here like you wouldn't believe.

Congratulations, despite the downtime. It was the famous 15 min of fame moment, not everyone gets those; I will look intensely for mine! 😀

As far as I can remember, this is your second one!

Thanks!

Yeah, second BIG one. I've done this show I think 3-4 times, and a morning show 3 times on Fox, and MSNBC and CNBC, but those literally created zero bump in traffic.

These come randomly and have to be ready!
