steemit.chat - Now WTF?
[UPDATE 1 7:40PM EST]
The load balancing is in place so we should see a two times performance increase. Now that the infrastructure is in place I should be able to seemlessly add capacity as we grow.
I know it's been rough the last few weeks with all the down time but I think we're in a much better position now to handle another uptick in users.
Steem On!
===============================================================================
Evening Folks,
We outgrew the previous server and have moved to a new one. This server will be a good home but requires a more complex configuration to load balance multiple instances of the nodejs process.
I am working hard to get it complete and hope to have it up this soon (tm).
James aka Riverhead.
Awesome @riverhead! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
A lot of people use and appreciate the chat.
Therefore, we appreciate all you are doing. 🙏☺️😉
Hope it's not too much of a headache and time consumer to work out!
Steem on 🐳
It's feast and famine :). I go weeks or months without having to do anything and then Steem goes to $2 hahah.
But now I'm not able to run steemit.chat
I don't know what's going on !!
Can you tell me something ? @riverhead
Hi .. I'm new Here, I need a push , thank you for up vote this post
I hope you know how much you are appreciated.
There has been a lot of downtime lately, and I'm sure it's frustrating for a lot of people. Do you think we'll have close to 100% uptime after this new server is properly configured?
With the new configuration I am really hoping to have a much more stable setup. I am with you 100% that the downtimes are frustrating for everyone. We are working hard to create a more robust platform.
Glad to hear. Btw, do you think you'll make it to Lisbon in November?
So far I am a go for Lisbon :).
That has always been the goal, yes.
You talk about Chat ???
Well, I encourage you, regards.
Thanks! Can't wait for the new chat to be up and running. Miss connecting with my Steemit friends on it. :) Thanks again for all of your hard work.
Resteeming to let my down line know.
Thanks for the update.
Keep at it. It is a valuable resource to many of us and it is still my chat of choice (sorry discord folks). Thanks @riverhead for keeping us updated.
Thanks papa-pepper. The discord chat isn't for everyone but I'm glad its there. It's a different vibe from steemit.chat. Variety being the spice of life and all that.
Oh yeah. I'm over there too, I just prefer the rocket-chat... after all, it'll take a rocket to get to the moon!
Fantastic! Was wondering what was going on!
