Stress testing for Saviors of Uldum

Hey so during Rise of Shadows I was using the Hpwn for saving my deck lists for Hearthstone, but I specifically remember on the Day of the expansion (Naturally) the site was very slow or non-responsive due to the Influx of traffic on the site.
I switched over here about a two weeks ago and wanted to ask If Out of cards is going to receiving any slow downs during the Opening day of the expansion and if so Is there anything you guys can do in preparation for it?

Hey CovenantKevlar,
This past reveal period has been eye opening into what kind of resources are required to run the site at a high load due the constant surges of people visiting. In preparations for the expansion next week, we'll be adding some additional caching for logged out users and I'm going to be bumping up the number of instances powering the site. There will be a very small, less than a minute, service interruption late on the weekend to enable this new configuration.
I'm confident we'll be fast, and without a doubt faster than HearthPwn ever was with launch days. It was always frustrating when people at HearthPwn knew the expansion was launching and didn't scale up the site correctly in preparation for the day. I remember when we went offline for a few minutes as an expansion was launching, the key moment of launch day. I don't plan on bringing that curse with us here =)

I'm glad you guys will have a handle on the site in preparation for SoU, Thanks for the prompt response!
