Slammed is a good word. We certainly did get slammed. The good news is that Rackspace.com was able to respond to a RAM upgrade request quickly and between the time I got the alarm about the site availability through diagnosis, upgrade order, installation and restart was a bit under an hour. After some additional system and apache tuning, we were back on the air by 11:45 and have been serving the load since then.
I apologize to those whose requests were not served this morning due to the spike in demand. We've upgraded our service now and we invite you back to check out the NASA software.
