Question to other server admins who are using ElasticSearch!
How do you keep up with the growth of the ES database? Run extra servers, clean?
🇳🇱
@snder Bigger and better servers. Its costing us several hundred a month to maintain that sort of capability.
Oh wow.. That's a little over budget for me haha! quey is now running on a €20 server plus Wasabi costs..
I've had it running for a while but it eats up diskspace very fast.. :(
@snder Last month cost me about $600 and next month will come down to closer to $200 after i did some cost saving. Luckily we have over 10K in our funding coffers so we are good for a while.
Holy shit man! Are you talking about the qoto instance now or any porjects? :o
@snder Thats Qoto, but keep in mind qoto is intending to be bigger than just a mastodon instance. The intention is to be a full ecosystem for engineering (software and hardware) solutions, specifically the collaboration side.
I see, you're hosting more then only a mastodon instance! Also PeerTube and some other fun project I see ^^
May I ask how did you raise that much funds for qoto? :o
@snder peertube and similar were hosted but currently downa s we are revamping the whole ecosystem. But yea, thats just a tip of the iceburg for what is planned though.
The funds came from both myself and other investors who funded the project we are going to be chatting about. Qoto is one small non-profit component in the bigger picture there.
