i handled a 8x increase in traffic to my website from a youtuber reviewing our game, by increasing the cache timer and fixing the wiki creating session table entries for logged out users on a wiki that required accounts to edit it.

we already get multiple millions of page hits a months for this happened.

This server had 8 cores but 5 of them were reserved for the 10tb a month in bandwidth game servers running on the same machine.

If you needed 1,000 physical computers to run your webapp, you fucked up somewhere along the line.
