Who else has had traffic surges like this?
Most are reporting a doubling or so of bandwidth, for an event that you had a week's advance notice. April 16 a few years ago, we had a much higher bandwidth impact on much shorter notice. Oh, and a protip: Trying to remediate a slashdotting is hard. Trying to remediate one while you're still under lockdown due to the cause of the slashdotting is even harder. But our efforts were nowhere near as valiant as the guys who were boots on the ground in Haiti after the quake, or the guys who kept 60 Hudson online. In the greater scheme of things, it was *just* a software release.
