Without looking at the code Claude produced for you, I wouldn't be surprised if it just recursively
hits the database to build threads. If it does that for a game thread while a bunch of people are hitting refresh, that's gonna be instant Overlord. Especially on a cheap hosting instance. You really need to architect it so that the app mostly lives in memory, something like Redis, with eventual consistency to a database. Fetch the top posts for the homepage from DB, fetch everything newer from Redis, build tree, return to renderer.  Previous Message i’m asking from a point of ignorance not questioning the expertise
