Dear #littleOne friends,
**Current status**: I've carried out a few measurements and changes. I fixed the backup issue, which was causing deadlocks in the queue until manual intervention. This morning it was stuck for about an hour and a half, resulting in a backlog of 1,900 jobs, which were cleared in less than an hour.
CPU load is very, very low, better than I expected. However, I occasionally notice some slowdowns that I suspect are due to the WASM driver currently used on NetBSD ARM (v6 and v7), which limits the number of database connections, even for read-only operations. I’m currently investigating this. But hey - do we really plan to host 40 users instances on such a low power device? (*Yes, we do!*)
The instance will likely return to the VPS soon, as soon as I finish looking into it, while we roll out further changes.
Stay tuned!
