Absolutely awesome postmortem from Status Exchange Network - http://stackstatus.net/post/147710624694/outage-postmortem-july-20-2016 -. Also gives a good view how trivially easy it is to DDoS a website to it's knees, if it contains absolutely horrible and extremely bad recursive code. It's a good question why this trimming happens and view time and not when the data is being saved? Afaik, it's also a bad choice. Why to do same task several times, if doing it once is enough? - Laughable fail, but that happens. I've often mentioned that many programmers don't have a clue what their code actually does. It just works. This should be one of the classic examples.
