We apologize for the instability of composr.app and appreciate your patience. We are working on the statistics addon and trying to find an optimal way to store and render data. Unfortunately, we have yet to find a solution that can handle the traffic (and therefore, tens of millions of statistical records) of composr.app. We're working hard on one.
Patrick, I have written this up based on our discussion. I have also created #4982, but I don't feel that is nearly as important. I'd just like to be able to have rewrites fully work under nginx given official instructions.
For reference, I discussed the importance of Nginx with Patrick, and in summary:
- Nginx is nice, it would be good to not have to rely on having Apache behind it
- Some hosting control panels are pushing Nginx-only now, not Nginx+Apache
Broadly we identified some good reasons for using Nginx:
- Faster for static files
- Allows having multiple sites running off of different ports (for webapps that need to run off of a webroot) but then transparently hosted on arbitrary URLs via reverse proxying
- More modern
