Downtime due to out of memory error

Hi there,

Due to certain limits surpassed, we faced an issue in which both CPU and memory load were through the roof when we would generate the RSS feed for certain large blogs. This would cause the whole platform to be exceptionally slow and requests would timeout.

We are now serving only the last 10 articles for each blog (in the rss endpoint) but we will enforce stricter limits across all resources one can create in the coming months.

Becoming more popular is cool but it comes with the price of more abuse.
