I had to resize the database server disk on pixelfed.social, I thought it would take 1 minute per GB but it was faster.

We were at 80% disk capacity and I didn't want to run out so I figured this is a good quiet time to do it and it was!

I will be setting up a read replica to help deal with load in advance of the mobile app release, I'm very lucky to have focused on scalability and perf so early on as it makes it easy to sustain growth 💪
