Hi all, If you tried using our site last night, you may have experienced intermittent downtime. We had significant concurrent traffic on our system that ended up locking up some of our front-end servers.
We’ve resolved the immediate issue, but are taking steps to prevent this from affecting us long term:
- Two additional front end servers to be deployed this week
- Additional RAM upgrades across front-ends
- Exploration into cloud-computing solutions to handle traffic spillover
Again, apologies for any issues you may have experienced and know that we are working our hardest to keep downtime at a minimum.
