DaveLegg Developer Posted September 25, 2018 Developer Share Posted September 25, 2018 Over the next few weeks, we will be performing various maintenance tasks behind the scenes to upgrade our hosting platform. Most of this we will be able to perform with little or no downtime, but there will be small periods where the site may become unavailable - don't panic, it's all part of the plan!

But I look after the servers, and the datacenter is around an hour away from me. In the past we've had trouble when we've needed to rely on third parties to deal with hardware issues, so it needed to be somewhere accessible.

We'll still be using portions of AWS (Cloudfront CDN for example), but the servers will no longer be EC2 instances. As a general progress update, the new servers are now installed in the datacenter, with the new MySQL server replicating in real-time from the current instance on EC2. We're on track for switching over the site next week. I'll update again when we have a firm day & time set for the switch over.
