ballchasing.com

I used to use and pay for DataDog to collect metrics and monitor the site, but that got too expensive then switched to NewRelic, which also got too expensive with time. I'm now using the fee plan of NetData

then there are a 2 worker servers handling the replays parsing, indexing, stats computations, ... 2 front servers serving the website and api, behind a load balancer all of these are hosted using Hetzner too The Hetzner stack costs around 400$/month Continued ...

In this tweet, I'd like to publicly answer a question I often receive in private. Q: How/Where is ballchasing.com hosted ? Cloud vs Self-hosted, the cost breakdown, what technologies are used, ... Check the thread for the answers:

I don't like it but I had to resort to a huge banner in the website asking for patreon support because keeping the site up has been taking a toll on my finances for a couple years now. I've been consistently paying a couple hundred euros from my pocket every month for a while😓

Lessons learned: - disable the automated terraform apply to start - will look for more ways to avoid future accidental server deletions

- the automated apply noticied that the OS should change from ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 - so it went ahead and recreated all of the frontend (website + api) and worker servers - hence the downtime

After 5 hours & 30 minutes of downtime, the service is up again. What happened is an unlucky sequence of events. Check the thread for more details. My apologies for such an extended downtime.

Alright let's try to steer conversation back to the RLCS for a bit: What's your favorite "advanced stat?" @BallchasingRL keeps track of player speed, distance to ball, time in different 3rds of the field, boost averages, all sorts of fun stuff. What's your favorite?

❤️

@raiiddenn Oh, that’s an easy one: Those are the only settings stored in the replay file ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@BallchasingRL I've always wondered why on the website you can only see steering sensitivity but not aerial sensitivity. Is there any particular reason for this?
