Ask HN: If I launch in the App Store will my Linode 2048 crash

2 pointsmcartyem3 comments

I'm about to launch an app in the App Store that talks to a Linode 2048 downloading/uploading pictures.

Will that crash the server?

What should I expect in terms of resource consumption?

Could you move the pictures to Amazon S3? Or another CDN?

(But as far as your actualy question, I don't know what kind of traffic the app store would generate.)

I can move the pictures to Amazon S3. What's the rationale behind that?

I haven't actually used it but that's the advice I always hear.

I guess check it out and then do some math on the pricing. The benefits are that it won't crash under heavy load, and it can be cheaper.
