The traffic is really hitting hard right now, and the server was not supposed to be handling that. Its just 512 MB ram and now I need to scale it. #unExpectedProgress.
If it's only a static website you could simply use Firebase hosting. It's free and scales automatically using Google's CDN.
It is not a static website. It is made using the same boilerplate that is mentioned in the documentation. As the repo maintainer believes in using what he has made. ;)
Eh, he could also use Firebase functions to accomplish that and again for free with CDN without worrying about scaling issues.
