Does HN self-host too?

I'd love to read an article describing the HN setup. Seems that they got a lot of things right - self registration, influx of people during outages and plenty others. Admins, if you see this, please write about your craft!

I am pretty sure @dang wrote about it on here before, but I can't seem to find it.

  Seems like so, these submissions from them look related, but not quite it:
  - [Sorry I broke the server](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9052128) - [New attempt at mobile markup](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10489499) - [Clickable domains and QoL](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10223645) - [New features and a moderator](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12073675) - [Thanks to thehodge and littlewarden, this site is up today](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28472350)
  Maybe one day. Seeing all of these big providers stumbling, an article about HN staying on top of everything would surely resonate.
