'In mid-to-late June 2026, Read the Docs experienced the largest and most sophisticated distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack in our history. At its peak, our infrastructure was hit with over 5.5 million requests per minute, about 100 times our normal baseline traffic.'
Nearly 120 terabyte of data was transferred.
I really wonder *why* someone would attack Read the Docs, especially when all of their docs are made available for AI scrapers.
https://about.readthedocs.com/blog/2024/07/ai-crawlers-abuse/
Paranoid theory: AI companies attack what works (technical writing) so that AI can take over. ;-)
Seriously though, the recent attack seems to me to be sophisticated and meant to bring financial chaos to Write the Docs.

Farewell Write the Docs Berlin 2026. It was a pleasure, as always.
I hosted my first unconference session today on how to enable docs for better usage by AI without increasing the maintenance burden. Thanks for all the contributions. You were very encouraging.
Thanks to organization team, the speakers, volunteers, and you the attendees.

Second day of Write the Docs Berlin 2026 is ongoing. It continues yesterday's spirit of feeling welcomed, engaged, full of learning, and sharing challenges and experiences.
So far I liked most the talk "Good Enough at Scale: Documentation Infrastructure Under Capacity Constraints" from Elena Baskakova. It was very informative with a lot of knowledge. Thank you so much.

First day at Write the Docs 2026 Berlin was amazing. I enjoyed the unconference with its huge topic variety. Of course, AI was one topic and it's so different how teams or even organizations position themselves when it comes to documentation. I liked the open and honest exchange about concerns, challenges and ideas.
Next up, the evening social event.

First-time speakers are warmly encouraged, especially if you’ve done useful docs work but haven’t spoken about it publicly before.
Submit a proposal even if you’re still shaping the talk. We’d be happy to see the idea early.
