API is down

[Abdirahiim]

So I was doing some unit tests for my project when I saw that they failed and I checked out the API to see if everything is working but it seems that it's down

This works flawlessly https://github.com/ExpDev07/coronavirus-tracker-api#running--development

And seriously, this API service has been reaching it's capacity, so using your localhost endpoint for unit testing is more than just nice towards the others.

I was testing out my API wrapper and since that it uses the API using it for tests is inevitable

yes, it's down... but why so?

I think the problem is the app on Dyno (instances heroku). I runned without problems locally.

Unfortunately scaling up on Heroku isn't cheap but here are some of the options that can be considered. I think the best option for now is running it locally

Maybe crowdfunding?

I have another version of it hosted in the US that doesn't get nearly as much traffic.

Could some sort of load-balancing scheme be implemented that directs traffic to multiple free instances?

I'm still trying to get a node working on a Ubuntu server 'cause then I can spin up some droplets and put a load balancer in front.
