Thank you all for your continued support!
We’re very happy to be part of this incredible community.
Man, @Stefan, You and the rest of the team are truly on top of things! You should definitely write a book or teach a masterclass on how to build a SAAS community the right way
Database upgrade is complete. Thanks to everyone for their patience and understanding.
Our logs show that the total downtime was ~56 minutes out of the planned 120 minutes.
I’m still not really sure what to do with transparency like this. I mean, I feel like this is the way it should be but it’s definitely not the industry standard. Just wow!
Also, for those who are less technical, @Tim can you explain if users should notice anything different? Faster? More responsive? I would say less down time BUT Tape is already stable so
Thanks for your kind words @Jason and @1F2Ns - we’re also glad things went so smoothly and according to the plan. Preparation and transparency seems to be the key here We invested quite some time resources over the past weeks into doing the homework proactively.
Regarding your question, @1F2Ns: The team made sure that our persistance layer, where all Tape data is stored, remains robust, performant and secure and supports the growing amount of users and data in Tape. As organizations all over the world rely on Tape, we prefer to take action in advance to ensure a smooth sailing in the future.
The impact you might be able to see is more stable performance, i.e. faster and more responsive application behavior.
