AWS EC2 - T3 micro - Server crash
Has anyone experienced a sudden surge in CPU usage, leading to server crashes? This issue has been occurring frequently without any identifiable reason. I'm unsure about the root cause of the problem.
Currently, there are only around 900 users. I haven't identified any loop-related issues, and I don't believe it's an IP address problem either.

900 users doing what
I don't remember what micro gives you but it ain't much
could be just normal low spec
but what does your app do? I/O usage? processing? math?
Suvey and poll stuff. Don't see the server interaction as much. 150 users active a day.
no algos, dbs, loops, math
nothing?
if it's none of that you got 2 options:
1- throw more CPU at it
2- test it on your own machine check the resource usage, if it's consistent and doesn't keep going up then it's just low spec CPU, if it keeps going up then definitely a code thing
then you go into debug mode
Thank you so much!
Will look into that!
also, when you test it locally use a tool to fake actual usage, like apache benchmark, because if it's not constantly high usage but rather unusual spikes it won't show
so check for consistently high but also spikes, if it goes up occasionally then it's also code related, could be something like the GC doing work
Thank you so much! Will let you know if it works!
