Seemed to be a combination, we don’t have any major monitoring set up, but looking at our nginx logs, it was 55k requests in a short period of time. We posted to reddit a few weeks ago and hit the front page of some linux / OSS related subs, but the server held up fine.
Luckily adding an nginx rate limiter fixed most of the issues, as the problem wasn’t with rust, but with some clients w/o caching (IE bots of some kind), requesting all the files constantly.
