Actually Node is a well packaged platform-like runtime built mainly upon these : V8, libeio, libuv and others ( DNS, OpenSSL e.g )

What makes it unique is that you use Node Standart Library with Javascript to harness the power of those.

Great to see events like these happening in Istanbul. Keep up the good work +1 !

This is their way of not taking any responsibility and blaming the customer. This also happened to many others including me. You can check these HN threads.

Wait until you see the real "support" from DO.

Just yesterday i made 2 slow MySQL queries perform nearly 100x faster by replacing the reckless JOINs with smart subqueries.

Why the rage ? Guess you don't get the point of the post w/e.

This seems pretty much the same pattern as my issue with DO last month. Better to move your service to AWS or Linode.

In Case anyone wants to check.

Which one is better hourly or a normal salary?

Hey thanks for the great points. But isn't salary relative to the location of the company?

Hey thanks. Great points. So you advise to look for companies without using any job / referral site and contact them directly ?

You miss the point here. It's not about getting hacked or so. It's their way of handling it. Like i said they kill it first and then tell you the reason why. What's the point in it ?

They notified me what? They closed my account first and then mailed me after? It's like killing a man first and then saying the reason why.

You know what they stopped answering my ticket after first response. If it wasn't HN post gaining this much traction i'm pretty sure that they won't respond to me.

I was also tremendously happy with DO and their service. But what if you get your production apps down without even any notification and proper reasoning ? That's the thing which makes you feel insecure.

Being attacked or even getting compromised is customer fault ? Okay i get that. But what about closing the account instantly, not notifying the customer, accusing that customer of being a cheap liar and treating them in a bad way?

Hello Ben, thanks for the response. Fırst of all at first ticket i told that the only possibility of having an UDP outgoing is that script that i wrote.

Other than that i've no other activity or script that can generate that much traffic. Haven't you even considered that my droplet may be compromised or being attacked ?

Instead of letting me know what exactly happened or which processes were running at that time you just locked the account and accused me.

Couldn't you even look at the access logs or so to see which IPs login into the droplet and then take your action later instead of closing it instantly?

What do you mean by a major violation of their SLA?

I don't know the first question's answer and that's what i am trying to learn. Second it's my first time participating in a HN topic that much i didn't know the etiquette here sorry for that.

That's a possibility. But at this time yesterday they were really really active.

The thing is that they wanted to stay private when i posted this so i immediately removed and now waiting for them. By the way i received that response after 2 hours of the topic opening. They weren't answering me at all before HN post

Send the document to DO. Waiting for them.

Pardon me, scan and email what ?

Hello there i've shared the applications already. Here : Android : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codehardz.... IOS : https://itunes.apple.com/tr/app/yazar-gundemi/id608022610?mt...

I deleted it instead of editing. Sorry for that kinda migrating the servers also pretty high pressure on me :|

I'm pretty sure that it's nothing else and i've never used the Dropbox script after i got the first ticket.

Could you please give the specific details to me and to all the people waiting for the answers. Thank you.

The DB is pretty small actually just 10 MBish. Is this really a traffic flood for DO ?

Seems like so. I've been a customer of DO for 7 months and they ask me for these.

Sad to hear that there's other people who shared the same situation as me.

Yeah that makes you feel really insecure.
