My blog is yet to fail and I don't believe in premature optimization. I had 50k in a day once in the past and it was ok. If more than that happens in seconds and the blog fails, so be it. It doesn't affect my life at all, I fail too sometimes.

I considered monitoring popular posts and prerendering those. Feels like code bloat for something that might not happen.

Don't get me wrong, this blog used to prerender everything. It kinda sucked to compute which pages were affected by a change in any given page as it might need to patch indexes, cross linked references, and so on. It can be done of course, or you can simply re-render everything anyway. The added friction for development and maintenance was not worth it for me.

It is my personal blog, it is not a personal branding site to show people my cool web skills or anything. If it goes down, let it go down.
