From 8 cores to 36 cores processing power, let's see how the new database server holds up. Hopefully everything will be much faster from now on, but it should also give me a bit more room to scale horizontally.

@Gargron Great to hear! For future horizontal scaling: How about balancing load across some read-only db mirrors? I guess eventual consistency doesn't hurt this kind of application and most load comes from read requests. Keep your main db for writes only.

@Gargron is there someplace I can pay for mastodon servers? $8 a month for mastodon is way better than some random billionaire.

@Gargron 👍 Nice to know what might be just ahead of ourselves mid- to long-term.

And since mastodon.social keeps lagging occasionally: if the DB server turns out to be the culprit, have you considered or even tried using a CockroachDB cluster as a drop-in replacement for PostgreSQL? Can you think of any obstacles?

@Gargron I see you're using Hetzner servers. When ordering new ones please take a look at their RX series (with ARM64 processors). These are real, 80 cores, beasts with outstanding performance.
