Outage Notes: 2009-12-08

First of all: We’re very sorry for the outage!

We are back online now.  The outage lasted about 2.5 hours and boy are my arms tired… eyes tired? brain?

We discovered the root cause – a video upload.  The file didn’t actually have a movie inside (“reference movie”) and it caused some terrible havoc.  I’ve implemented a fix for this issue so spokt will be ready to handle it when the next reference movie is uploaded.

We’ve also taken this opportunity to further harden spokt by adding a few new forms of monitoring as well as improved the backup processes.
