Is Nexus ready for FO4?

[CopperBoltwire]

Okay, title a bit misleading. But the question is pretty much that: IS Nexus and it's team ready for when the GECK for FO4 gets released?
I remember how often Nexus was down when Skyrim was released along with it's Creation kit.

So i hope the Nexus Team has learned something from last time :P

 

I know of the FO4 section, but I'm more curious about weather they are actually ready to be the file host and abuse of all those uploads/downloads that will happen the following months.

 

So Nexus team; are you actually prepared this time around?

You remember so much and yet so little.

Who knows. Every time traffic increases massively we enter unknown territory where we have to learn and adapt to the situation. And hope we can afford it.

 

We doubled our database cluster capacity a couple of weeks before Fallout 4's release. We now have 960GB of memory and 80 CPU cores in that alone, which only runs database queries. We've expanded from 10 VMs to 13 VMs on our cloud web servers, taking us to 92 cores and 356GB of RAM on the web server side of things. We've moved all our static content (images, mainly) on to the CDN, away from the 8 dedicated servers we originally used for static content. And the past two weeks we've run profiling on the site code to try and find areas that are causing the biggest bottlenecks and slowdowns. Inherent problem with that being that some issues don't show themselves until you've entered uncharted territory. Case-in-point: there's an issue at the moment when we go over 125 page views a second where the cache is bottlenecking the servers every 2 minutes. We've only gone over 125 page views a second since Fallout 4 was released, so we had no idea until now that such a thing could happen.

 

So really, to answer your slightly condescending question, "maybe".

[CopperBoltwire]

Sorry, did not mean to be condescending at all, what so ever!
I was curious and concerned, is all.

 

But it's wonderful to hear that measures are taken.

 

Again, sorry.

While common for an excuse to use, it's also a fact: English isn't my main language, but i try my best to be as coherent as possible.

And also try to appear as friendly as i can, but apparently i did not succeed in sounding as friendly as i had hoped, for that i am sorry.
