There was a period on an hour where we migrated our database to it's own server in the same data centre.
This server has faster CPUs than our current one, 3.5GHz v 3.0GHz, and if all goes well we will migrate the extra CPUs we bought to the DB server.
The outage was prolonged due to a PEBKAC issue. I mistyped an IP in our new postgres authentication as such I kept getting a "permission error".
The decision of always migrating the DB to it's own server was always going to happen but was pushed forward with the recent donations we got from Guest on our Ko-Fi page! Thank-you again!
If you see any issues relating to ungodly load times please feel free to let us know!
Cheers,
Tiff
It is noticeable in the browser, but I guess it's definitely an improvement if we are now up-to-date with LW for posts and comments!
