Network outage 2018-07-29 7am PDT

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

This morning at 7am PDT one of our circuits had rolling connectivity issues which caused servers to be unavailable. That circuit is back up, but the engineers are looking at the core issue. When these types of network issues happen, we are forced to do a round of server reboots to make sure Districts and World servers can talk to each other properly. 

We've spent quite a bit of time patching server performance and looking at forward-facing network systems, and I believe we've made real progress there. However clearly there are still more cobwebs to clean. Personally it's frustrating to see failures in these "back of house" systems that cause downtime on a weekend like this. Tomorrow I'm going to sit with the networking team to start evaluating them one by one to see if we can reduce the possibility of this kind of downtime in the future.

Thanks,
Matt

Sounds like technical debt due to the previous management not keeping up with software development well enough at all

Appreciate the update though, thanks

whoever downvoted is an pleasant fellow. G1C wouldn't give us this they wouldn't care. Matt does.

Just now, tries said:

How long is downtime going to be?

The downtime should be just long enough to reboot servers. The network is back up now.

Would this possibly have an impact on what was suppose to be announced this week of new patches and new content ???
