But most problems like that can be solved with caching no matter which tech you're using.

Are you assuming each request takes a second, or how long? A blog should return fast enough that this isn't the case Edit: Yes, even WordPress. Unless there are 50 plugins, an unoptimized theme, zero caching, and a resource constrained server.
> zero caching When each request is from a different person, you get essentially zero cache. Nope, server-side caching reduces back-end processing.

Then you need a faster web framework or CMS. Nexus is made with Nim and is designed to be fast ( https://github.com/jfilby/nexus ). But most problems like that can be solved with caching no matter which tech you're using.
The tide has turned for sure.

There are multiple strategies for caching in the server, without them IIRC the php code will be interpreted on each request, files parsed, and obviously hit the database for each request. There's fastcgi caching in nginx, php opcode in php-fpm, and WP specific cave plugins like Super Cache. At least this was the case ~10 years ago.

They were grateful the thing got so much attention, and deferred to other hosts to supplement serving that attention. Not looking for uptime solutions.
Had a similar thought a few years ago and added a total posts chart to go along with the technology trends, https://www.hntrends.com/2022/may.html Looks like you have June 2021 as the all time high as well. Doesn't look like June 2022 is going to get even close, which makes sense based on current freezes/layoffs.
I started and abandoned a little side project a while ago where I wanted to see which employers tended to have the exact same (or fuzzy-the-same) "Who's Hiring" post month after month. Goal would be to find some signal about which posts were actually resulting in hiring (in other words, the company didn't come back with the same posting) and which ones were just trawling for the same job month after month without act…
In my experience, long-standing unexplained openings in small companies, including early stage startups, are signal that something is wrong. I did see this in one example in the “who’s hiring” thread here, but also in following the newsletter for a startup I applied to. Two reasons I saw in my last job hunt: 1. The company is lowballing wages. 2. The hiring manager for the position does not want to hire or is not ali…
