Hello everyone,
We are planning a scheduled downtime Saturday (March 27th) at 10:00am.
We are polishing the infrastructure for an important new beta launch in April.
You can follow live updates on Twitter:
The maintenance was successfully completed at 5:00pm.
Thank you for your patience.
Update Log:
Update at 10:15am: The maintenance started.
Update at 12:15pm: The team has made good progress. All the components we want to upgrade/reboot have been upgraded. We need a bit more time to finalize our network tests before we can restore the service. Thank you for your patience. We should be able to give you an ETA in 30min.
Update at 12:45pm: The team needs a bit more time to replicate some data. Thank you for your patience. We should be able to give you an ETA in 60min.
Update at 2:45pm: The data has been replicated. The team is running some tests to make sure that all the content is consistent. As soon as this operation is complete, we should have an ETA. Next update in 60-90min. Thanks for your patience.
Update at 4:15pm: Thanks for your patience everyone! We are making sure that everything is working correctly before we get the app back online. We have done 90% of the tests. One of them is taking longer than we expected but the team is making good progress. More very soon.
Update at 4:45pm: Thanks again for your patience. The service is back online. A big thank you to the DevOps team for pulling off this major upgrade. Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy reading!
-Seb, Oliv, Kireet, David, and Edwin
