Does HN self-host too?

• ArcHound 10mo ago
  I'd love to read an article describing the HN setup. Seems that they got a lot of things right - self registration, influx of people during outages and plenty others. Admins, if you see this, please write about your craft!

    I am pretty sure @dang wrote about it on here before, but I can't seem to find it.

        Thanks! Seems that's what we'll get as there are apparently serious money which can be made by knowing the guts of HN as per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27454354 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27454354.

      Seems like so, these submissions from them look related, but not quite it: - [Sorry I broke the server](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9052128 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9052128) - [New attempt at mobile markup](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10489499 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10489499) - [Clickable domains and QoL](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10223645 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10223645) - [New features and a moderator](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12073675 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12073675) - [Thanks to thehodge and littlewarden, this site is up today](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28472350 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28472350) Maybe one day. Seeing all of these big providers stumbling, an article about HN staying on top of everything would surely resonate.

  Yes, except when we've shot ourselves in both feet: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45750608 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45750608
