  This maintenance is still ongoing with no current ETA to full resolution. We appreciate your continued patience while we work to swift resolve this issue. Thank you.

So we could still see some fallout from this. I know this morning I was experiencing slowness at times and the boards seemed to go down altogether around 9:40 AM UK time. I had to go out after that so I don't know how long that outage was.

 

And this outage is now over.

Got an email from Philip about scheduled maintenance on Aug 3. However there wasn't a time frame given and the host status page doesn't list it yet. Once I know more I'll put it here.

It sounds like it might be intermittent short outages rather than one long one. Also the timing is early morning UK time. If things are down when I come online and it's outside of the outage period I'll hoist the SOS flag. Yarr!

 

Host maintenance notice. Hopefully it won't affect us too much:

New Jersey Infrastructure Upgrades - 2019-09-30
09/26/19 4:42 pm UTC

Event Summary: Our engineering team will be performing upgrades to our New Jersey deployment infrastructure starting at 2019-09-30. During this maintenance window, new deployments and snapshot functionality may be temporarily unavailable.

Previously deployed servers in New Jersey will remain online without interruption and will not be impacted by this event.

We estimate this may take up to 24 hours however most likely it will be completed significantly faster.

No - Grahame was checking an issue and he needed to run a scan on the server so he shut the boards down and took the database offline so the scan could have more resources (and therefore a shorter run time). I stuck a note in the Tech Questions thread yesterday.

Not our call, but most of the maintenance hasn't actually affected the uptime. I put it here more to inform people about a possible outage. The host has had scheduled upgrade work on most of their servers - not just ours.
