w4tsn35037yCATS! That means...
maintenance server: The maintenance server does not respond. Too many connections. -
This is when I'll need it most... I'm on call and it's a busy maintenence weekend so all the things will need my help :(
-
dfox428427y@bahua thanks, yeah it should have said EST.
@JoshBent unfortunately not yet - the need to replace all of our servers has put us a little behind. -
@dfox thats actually exciting - what are you exactly changing? from vps to dedicated or changing away from digitalocean?
-
Week 90 should be "What did you do for the 15 minutes that devRant was down?"

f03n1x65867yTime to be like all the idiots when there is one day of holiday.
Flood the grocery stores and buy everything out lol
I really don't get why so many people do this. -
dfox428427yShould be good to go now! If anyone notices any issues, please let me know, thanks.
@JoshBent still on DigitalOcean, but they doubled all their plans. They were still doing Spectre patches and restarts, so instead of dealing with that and upgrading our existing instances, we decided to reprovision all of our servers to upgrade to the double config for the same price with all new instances.
I might just be imagining it, but thanks to the double RAM on the DB servers now I think the app feels quite a little faster :) -
dfox428427y@JoshBent awesome! Probably a combination of the new 32gb of RAM instances and also I upgraded to Neo4j 3.3 at the same time and a lot of queries are supposed to be faster now.

dfox428427yFor context, on our old 16gb instances, less than half of the DB was able to fit into Neo4j page cache. Now almost all of it fits.

Hey everyone,
This coming Sunday (Feb 4), at about 12AM EST, devRant will be going down for scheduled maintenance (database server maintenance). The maintenance shouldn’t take more than about 15 minutes.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions and apologies for the inconvenience!
