Traffic spike has taken our site down for last 24 hours. Any ideas?
Hi,
Looking for a bit of advice/pointers if anyone can help.
We have a Craftcms installation, on a (Forge provisioned) linode server.
We had a traffic spike yesterday and the site has pretty much been down ever since. We've resized the server up, restarted the server, but every time it comes back, it's extremely sluggish and then goes down again.
(Resized up to the Dedicated 512 GB plan.)
Not quite sure where to start?!

First look at error logs. You gotta figure out why and what’s causing it to crash.
