Yes, it sucks. But I am not actually sure if it's the relay or Mastodon API causing the problem. It keeps going down and I've been making Prometheus graphs to track the issue. Screenshots in my profile. Postgres itself is very good for the usual queries. Someone is doing something naughty that's choking up my connection pool. But I appreciate verita's enthusiasm for my project. I am determined to make it the best thing ever, and I think it can be.
