Heads-up About Some Planned Downtime â Data Center Move
As was mentioned yesterday, weâve been working on migrating Bloglines to a new data center to improve service. Most of the work has already been done behind the scenes. We've set up hundreds of new machines and copied tens of terabytes of data across the US to prepare for the final part of the move. During this last part of the data center migration, we will have a planned downtime from 12/05/08 9PM PST to 12/06/08 9AM PST. We will use this time to copy the last few databases to the new data center and do a final check of all services. At the end of the downtime, youâll be able to access your Bloglines account with updated blogs and articles which were published during the short downtime period. All will be back to normal. So, what will you see overnight from Friday evening into Saturday? If you attempt to access Bloglines Classic or Bloglines Beta during the planned downtime, you will see a temporary downtime error message. Afterwards, both services will again be fully available. If you see any problems, contact us via this customer support form. While we canât reply to every single message, we do review the customer contact emails and make changes and service improvements based on them. We strive to be transparent and proactive, so weâll be sure to keep you posted on the data migration over the weekend. Keep on Bloglining! - Eric Engleman & The Bloglines Team
More Resources, New Features, Added Talent
Greetings Blogliners! We wanted to provide you with some updates about our service. Weâve been busily working to make some timely improvements to Bloglines. First, weâre in the process of adding some good talent to our team in the form of some new engineers. Second, weâre focused on improving the operational stability of Bloglines. To do this, weâll be moving the service to a new data center very soon. Weâll update you on that in the next few days. After the data center migration and operational monitoring improvements are made, weâll continue to focus on making the final touches on the new version of Bloglines. Weâre excited about introducing it to you and weâre hopeful that you will find it to be a more robust and useful version. Lastly, the Bloglines Team would like to thank everyone for the feedback youâve provided on the beta thus far. Itâs looking really nice! - Eric Engleman & The Bloglines Team
