The database that underlies the board crashed yet again today.  The management is all lined up bowing down in abject apology.

 

For the technically inclined: In order to forestall these events in the future, I added 8GB to the swap file for the underlying instance at AWS. With luck this problem won't happen again.

For the non technically minded 

Adding 8GB to the swap file for the underlying instance on AWS means you have increased the virtual memory allocated to the instance. The swap file acts as an extension of the RAM, stored on the disk. When the physical memory (RAM) is fully utilized, the operating system moves some data from the RAM to the swap file to free up space for active processes.

Impact of this change:

1. Improved memory handling: It helps prevent out-of-memory (OOM) errors for applications that exceed available RAM.

2. Performance trade-offs: Since disk access is slower than RAM, processes relying on swap space may experience reduced performance compared to those running entirely in memory.

3. System stability: This can provide a temporary buffer for high memory usage spikes, increasing overall stability.

Board like this shouldn't notice any performance trade off.
