   I want to love #Codeberg but the site is down way way too often. If I create my own #Forgejo instance would it be more reliable or less?

   Is the instability due to the software or just because too many people use it?

     @Codeberg Yes, that sounds very difficult. Thanks for your work!

     @rimu For the record, the first years, Codeberg was pretty much hosted reliably on a single VPS for up to 10k users and it didn't require much attention.

     The storage at scale and the Git operations performance (high random IOPS and managing all these small Git files, for example) and database performance are the main challenges infrastructure-wise at the moment.

     @rimu Codeberg is overall stable because #Forgejo makes hosting quite easy. We are discovering some scaling issues (and fixed many in the past), but you probably don't have to worry about it if you don't plan to go beyond 10k users.

     Running a public service means you have to deal with all kinds of abuse and growth pain over and over again. 2024 was not exactly a lucky year in this regard.
