Hey everyone!

devRant will be going down on Friday, July 7th around 10:30pm EDT so we can do some database maintenance and restructuring of our cluster. It hopefully won't be down for more than about 30 minutes or so, and during that time you should see our "down for maintenance" message.

If you usually use devRant while you're on the toilet (we know many do!), we apologize and suggest you try to schedule around this!

Please let me know if you have any questions and apologies for the inconvenience.

    That's 4:30 am for France Spain Netherlands Belgium and maybe Germany Italy Switzerland, so we don't have to worry, it'll be the "Go to fucking bed" signal

    Haven't they read all the rants about not changing anything on a friday? Balls of steel... But I guess they are self employed and work on weekends regardless

    @jens-peter @LMtx @jobylie I like to live on the edge. Sometimes when the fire alarm goes off I don't even commit and push :)

    @CozyPlanes that's the one!

    @heyheni the supporter program has been very successful and has brought us much, much closer to covering our costs, but unfortunately we're not there yet. This maintenance is to change some things with the DB cluster around, try to optimize costs there, and also hopefully make devRant run faster too.

    Well this is one of the most positivity received downtime announcements ever! Look at all the ++, maybe do it more often 😈?

    Of course there is more understanding in this community. (The excellent message contents might also help 👍)

    the rant feed loads faster on my iphone, now it only needs one devRant load bounce icon animation compared to 3 before.

    @heyheni thanks for noticing :)

    You are correct - everything is significantly faster now. We traded in a few of our smaller DB servers for one very powerful one which is able to keep a lot more data in cache and has more cores for faster querying.
