Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

The engineers on the website are working overtime to fix bugs. A network-wide outage is a very serious matter. If data is confused or lost, their advertisers and existing users will slowly leave. These are The data accumulation they have worked hard for many years must not be wasted just like this.

"What happened last night? Have you found out the cause?" The top management of the website came early in the morning. After hearing about last night's situation, they immediately convened a meeting of the technical department to ensure that their system was not attacked by hackers.

"There were no hackers last night. It was just that the number of visitors suddenly increased. Our server capacity and bandwidth were not enough, so we were down for half an hour."

Technicians have carefully checked the system and found that the problem occurred on Zhong Meihui's account. Last night, this account was extremely active. The number of visitors reached a peak in an instant, causing the system to crash.

"Her fan activity level is astonishingly high. Since setting up the blog, she is the first to have such data."

The senior management of the website carefully analyzed Zhong Meihui's account status. Although all the evidence showed the authenticity of this matter, the senior management still could not believe that all these millions of fans were real.

"We have repeatedly verified the authenticity of this matter. Yesterday she held a lottery online, with more than 20 participants. Our server suddenly couldn't support it. And judging from her preview, she still wants to If you do it nine more times, do you want to limit her flow? Otherwise, our server will crash tonight."

The engineer from the technical department proposed to limit the flow of Zhong Meihui's account so that not so many people would pay attention to her, but as soon as his words came out, he was scolded by the senior management of the website.

"Do you know what our website relies on to survive? It relies on user usage and user activity. You actually want to limit the traffic of a big V that can attract fans the most. Do you want our website to die!"

The senior executive felt that the people in the technical department were dull-minded and could not even handle such a trivial matter. If the top leaders found out that they actually wanted to use this method to whitewash the situation, everyone would have to be fired.

"Please write down the equipment and models you need, and I will apply to the superiors. But before that, this kind of downtime cannot happen again, and we must think of a response plan." The senior leaders felt that a big boss like Zhong Meihui v. She may not be the only one in the future. Upgrading the equipment is imminent. I believe the leaders above will understand.

The people in the technical department are all on standby. What they are facing is no longer something that can be solved by working overtime. Instead, they have to rewrite the code to cope with the impact of Zhong Meihui's eight o'clock lottery draw.

At this time, Zhong Meihui was living a very leisurely life. Early in the morning, she received a debit notice from the bank. The bank debited the fourth phase of Beijing Building 168251 for 35290 yuan, and the current balance in her account was [-] yuan.

Zhong Meihui calculated the various incomes this month. The increase in stocks must be the largest part of the income, which can support most of the loans. The income from the website covers the living expenses of the family, as well as the wages of Yingzi and several other employees.

But recently, she wanted to acquire Bitcoin and bought a lot of photographic equipment. The total assets in her account were still decreasing. The increase in Apple's stock was limited, so it was impossible to dig out too much money.

She still has to focus on her blog. According to the current traffic growth rate, her income will at least increase several times next month, which can make up for part of the funds. Her income from the blog can even be comparable to that of stocks. The increase has become the main force for her to repay the loan.

Yaoyao also felt that her funds were insufficient. During this period, she did not make much money, but her monthly repayments were huge. Seeing the money in her account gradually dwindling, she was also a little anxious and wanted to deal with it immediately. Let’s take care of the things at hand and reorganize my blog.

After all, an editor told her before that she wanted to make a travelogue using the words and pictures on her blog. If the publication could be settled, the monthly copyright fee would be enough for her to pay for the bank loan.

"Sister, it's a pity that the computer was down last night. Otherwise, our number of fans would definitely be even greater now." Yaoyao felt that it was a pity that the computer was down last night. Otherwise, more people would have participated in the discussion and lottery. , at least tens of thousands more fans.

"I think the downtime is a good thing. It can make Internet companies realize in time that their equipment can no longer keep up with the development of blogs. As long as they expand the network capacity, more people will visit our blog in the future."

Zhong Meihui's thinking direction is different from ordinary people. She thinks that the downtime is an opportunity for her to show her strength to the website. If these people are smart enough, they will put more advertisements on her blog, so that her income will continue to increase.

As 7 o'clock in the evening approaches, the number of people on the blog gradually increases. Everyone wants this good luck, especially those who calculated the correct answer last night, but failed to upload the answer in time due to computer downtime. Very early Come here and squat, intending to occupy the most advantageous position.

"I've been waiting at the Internet cafe today. I have to get it no matter what. This is a VIP room with the best equipment and Internet speed."

"The speed of Internet cafes is not much faster, and you have to answer the questions correctly. Although yesterday's question was simple, it still took a while. Maybe other people's answers have already come out before you even press the keyboard."

The discussion forum was extremely lively. Everyone felt that going to an Internet cafe was unreliable. If hundreds of machines competed for one broadband at the same time, no one would be able to get in.

The technical staff of the website have also re-coded the code. Without new equipment, they can only temporarily allocate resources and compress other sections so that the blog section can be expanded three times from 7:30 to 8:30 tonight. to cope.

"Supervisor, the other sections have been changed to black and white, but this is too awkward. What if other departments complain."

People in the technical department felt that this solution was not a good one, but it was the only way they could come up with. For this reason, they offended many people in other departments. Now the heads of each department want to complain to the senior management.

"Let's talk about it after tonight."

The director of the technical department felt that the cost of downtime was more expensive than black and white web pages, so he asked everyone to continue collecting resources on the blog. According to their previous estimates, as long as the number of people participating in the lottery tonight does not exceed 30, the network will not There will be problems.

"Supervisor, it's 7:[-], they seem to be starting." The staff in the technical department reminded their supervisors that the time was coming. Everyone switched their screens and paid close attention to what was happening on Zhong Meihui's side. They knew that a tough battle was about to begin. It's time to start.
