Small update on my "small" Discord bot:
Feels good. It now covers the operating costs.

Now *that's* a number. Which bot is it? I'd love to read a longer post on how you've scaled it that high.

@synemeup It's not really a complex bot. It's used for searching for anime art.

Scaling it was quite easy. All I really had to do to change a few things to keep memory usage down and manageable. It currently eats 10GB of RAM while running.

The more interesting part is the image CDN I custom-made for it. The owner of an art website contacted me because my bot was making so many requests and eating bandwith as a consequence.

So I made my own tagged image CDN.

I may go into more detail of how the whole thing works in a proper blog post.

Cloudflare stats for the CDN (24 hours):

Pretty impressive. Good work!
