All of github pages was run off of _one_ server? (with one failover standby).
That's pretty amazing. If all you're serving is static assets, apparently you have to grow to pretty huge scale before one server will not be sufficient.
I'm curious if there was at least a caching layer, so every request didn't hit the SSD. They didn't mention it.
