After 13 years the Debian-Administration website will go read-only at the end of the month. Then later in the year it will transform it into a solely static-site so that the articles, weblogs, and associated comments are not lost - and they can be served via single server or two. Mostly this is happening due to lack of new content being added and folks posting more elsewhere.

    Why not? Because at most all they really need is:

    2 x web-servers (apache2); webserver for the planet
    1 x database for content-storing; redis for login-sessions + caching; API-server for serving content for other uses; mail-delivery host for sending out comment-notications, etc.
    1 x load-balancer to route traffic to any of those that are up (haproxy)

    Given how little traffic they probably get, and how non-critical this site is, they could probably get away with:

    1 x web-server (apache2); webserver for the planet; database for content-storing; redis for login-sessions + caching; API-server for serving content for other uses; mail-delivery host for sending out comment-notications, etc.
