Today I have observed that hackage.haskell.org/ timeout twice (in the noon and in the evening.)
What is the problem? Is it that haskell users have increased so that haskell.org is overloaded? That's very good news. I am eager to donate some money if it requires server reinforcement.
The issue is unfortunately more to do with sysadmin resources than server hardware; there's noone with the time to actively manage the server and make sure that it's running well. Any ideas for improving the situation would be gratefully received.
Today there were some problems with some processes taking up a lot of resources. One of the problems was the hackage search script, which has been disabled for now.
Since I don't have insight into the "inner sanctum" (aka. "service/server setup") this may be way off base, but how about adding a Varnish instance in front of haskell.org and its various subdomains? It could cache everything for 5 minutes (unconditional) and reduce load by ridiculous amounts. Regards,
