Hey all,
So - the release went out this morning, and shortly thereafter the
traffic to the blog post knocked out the site.
We've been talking a lot about re-doing the theme (which died) and
upgrading, which has also stalled. I'm not really confident that
upgrading to the medium gear is going to compensate anyway - we *should*
see big traffic bursts from time to time due to releases, popular posts,
etc. and WP is a bit resource intensive.
Would like to explore either 1) moving to WordPress.com (which would
probably involve changes to the theme) or 2) moving to a static site
framework like Middleman (which would involve having to work on the
theme to generate one for Middleman).
Can take this up immediately after the holiday, but I want to make sure
nobody will have kittens if I do so. :-) (Not that kittens aren't
delightful...)
And if you have other ideas, please accompany them with "and this is how
I will solve this problem." ;-)
Thoughts, comments, flames?
Best,
jzb

Just a note:
WordPress.com is blocked in China.
I wonder if there's some way to mirror/redirect users from China to a
static version, if we wanted to use WordPress.com?
Alternately, that may argue that we simply look into a static site option.
Best,

I think one of the selling point of openshift was it gives you an easy
access to scalabilty. Is the blog using anything like that?

Hello everyone,
We currently don't have scalability in Openshift. That could be done by migrating to a
new gear, which could also be a medium one(i have encountered some errors during thr
migration, although lsm5 opened me a ticket about that in the openshift support, but noone
reached me out yet).
Anyway we are using one gear to our account now. Jzb is it possible to upgrade our acc. to
large gears and give us the privileges of a silver account(16 gears available)? If I am
asking too much (:P) medium gears that we already have will be fine, but we definitely
need scalability up to 16(instead of 3 that we are eligible for), so we could handle such
traffic. With 16 gears available to scale + large gears we could even handle the
thehackernews traffic you said ;).
Anyway this is just an opinion, I may got very far with it, but I would suggest keeping
Openshift because of GIT

Have you followed up? This has been waiting for a while.

I don't know that asking for 16 gears would be considered reasonable.
Three? Sure. 16... uh, not so sure.
Anyway this is just an opinion, I may got very far with it, but I
would
suggest keeping Openshift because of GIT
Please elaborate? What does git have to do with anything?
Note that Middleman is also git-based and doesn't require a lot of gears
to work well.
Sidebar: It's *possible* there may be a third option, but I need to do a
little more research before saying whether it's viable or not.
Again, though: I want to stress, please accompany any alternative
solutions with "and here's how I will take responsibility to make it
happen." ;-) I want to get this fixed, and in the immediate future.

We wouldn't use all 16 gears all the time,if we make a scalable app, Openshift will
scale new gears in our app as we need them (because of the load) and remove them when we
don't need them. Anyway I think that asking from Openshift that, or if we can't
"ask" it like you said, and see if we can have some bugdet for this(which
doesn't make any sense for me, but anyway), it would be very easy to solve our problem
permanently.
The only alternative I can think of is hosting it in our own servers... Thoughts?

It's clearly not the only alternative. But you never responded to my
question: Have you reached out about the migration issue?
We're not currently using the 3 gears allotted to us, and the migration
effort just came to a halt. As I see it, that means that I'm being left
to accomplish all of this. If you are going to ensure that the migration
happens, then I will look into asking about more resources - but only then.

Hey guys,
Anyway there was a misunderstanding between me, jzb and some tickets for the migration
issue , but everything is settled now. The good news is that the migration to a new App
(with scalability support ) is done, so now we wait the infra team to change the
fedoramagazine.org domain to point to the new site. As soon as this is done, we can move
permanently to the new site[1].
At this point I would like to give credit to agrimm and lsm5 from openshift support for
their help in such quick notice, and of course to jzb as well.
For the time being until infra finalizes the domain issue, I am shutting down the Magazine
temporarily, as it will definitely confuse visitors once the domain changes (because of
the settings in wordpress)

This is awesome News Mitzie :)
I wish I could have helped more in the process but with moving and relocating my time has
been very sparse. The good news is that I am settled in and catching up on emails and
ready to tackle our next obstacle.
