Without optimization, Nginx defaults to allowing a maximum of one worker process with 512 connections and 60s timeout. 20 unique visitors per second will lead to 500 errors in less than a minute.
Are you sure? My understanding was that nginx would fill up all free connections up to the max, but then would begin draining idle connections so it could create new ones for new visitors.
I can only find a reference to what you said with regard to upstream connections. Are you sure this also happens with downstream clients?

That's fine, I was just listing another option. It should be noted you should still do server side caching. This just lets you serve from Cloudflare's caching layers too

Hey this is nice! I created a little app here that's quite similar but can be run without knowing SQL: https://slight.run/apps/colman/hacker_news_monthly_top_level..., and a graph to go with it: https://slight.run/graphs/colman/hacker_news_who_is_hiring_c...
One thing that's interesting: this is a sneaky case where the line hides two missing months in 2015.
