Update on the Move
January 27th, 2009 by harrisonLast Thursday afternoon, we made the biggest change in our infrastructure and moved all our servers to a new data center. After 12 hours of continuous work, we have successfully pushed Spokeo back online. While this transition looks smooth and without hiccups on the surface, there were actually some problems underneath (unsurprisingly for this kind of infrastructure change) that our users cannot immediately notice. Couple servers are broken, and a lot of little bugs sprung out. Fortunately, due to the robustness of our infrastructure design, none of these problems interrupts our basic service. That said, these problems do affect our site’s performance and stability, and we are working hard to restore everything back to normal. We should be able to fix all these issues and complete the entire transition by the end of this week. Thanks for everyone’s patience.
