Hi all, > I'll try and get to that over the weekend. Looks like the heaviest database load is due to API request to the global patches view, which is a bit of an odd use-case; that all appears to be mostly spider traffic.
Konstantin: I'm not sure your new index would help in that case, we're not looking up delegates for those views. Looking through the access logs, there seem to be three clients that are causing around 40-50% of patchwork load: - one IP from an "Alibaba Cloud HK" AS, various UAs - one IP from a Red Hat AS, curl/7.61.1 UA - the Bytedance "Bytespider" UA All three seem to be scraping the patchwork site. I have blocked all three for now, but it would be worthwhile setting up a more fair robots.txt and/or a reasonable ratelimit for the latter case. If anyone knows what might be up with that Red Hat crawler, please get in touch with me. I'll keep an eye on things here; there's still likely a bunch of potential configuration optimisation we can do too. Let me know if your observations change though.
