[hackerspaces] SpaceAPI being polled fast

[Yvan Janssens]

Or you can use a caching service like cloudflare.com.


Personally I am quite happy with them - on my NullPointer TLD they catch about 60% of the traffic, and because of this I can stay into the "free" tier at Amazon.


They also provide excellent DNS services, and auto-spambot killing. And you can hide the real IP of your server ;-).

Oh, true... with CORS enabled client apps pool api endpoints directly + no-cache means we can't expect low trafic on it, and it will increase more and more once more people start suing apps using space-api... maybe we need to look at some pub/sub approaches which allow push?
