The last few weeks have been exciting and tumultuous for the AboutUs developers as we have moved many of our systems in to the cloud. We first dipped a toe in to the water back in March by migrating this blog to Amazon’s ec2, and in the past month we’ve moved much of the core data storage of AboutUs their too.
But if you’re an active AboutUs community member or follow us on Twitter, you’ll know that it has been a somewhat rocky start for us.
The site has been in and out of read-only mode recently, (meaning the site is up, but no editing is possible). While this is definitely preferable to being totally out of commission, it certainly isn’t the best place to be, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience.
As of today, we’ve moved temporarily back to our previous data centers in order to get a handle on things. Our development and systems team has been working hard to iron out any kinks, and we hope to be fully operational and back in the cloud as soon as possible. We’re confident that this change in our architecture is going to be a long term boon to the site, but in the meantime, we appreciate your patience. Look here and on Twitter for a future update on our progress.
