Server Gremlins

We apologize for the downtime you experienced today. It would seem some Christmas elves got into the hardware and made a right mess of things.
In truth it was some unexpected maintenance downtime as we added two new load balancers to help handle growing traffic.

Now Playing: deviantART Film!

$lolly:iconlolly: reports, Sep 29, 2007
Film as a word conjures up something special. A unique feeling. Almost a different texture than words like movie or video. When someone asks you to go see a movie on the weekend you think, “Oh cool, that’ll be fun,” but if someone asks you to go to a film festival the feeling you get is entirely different...

Introducing Automatic Subscription Renewals!

$hexentanz:iconhexentanz: reports, Aug 2, 2007
Quite often we receive the suggestion from users that we should offer an automatic renewal option as part of the deviantART subscription service. Reasons for this particular request are numerous and range from deviants not always remembering to renew their subscription before it expires to deviants not wanting to experience service interruptions and desiring a more automated process.

Based on these requests, we're happy to announce that we have launched a new "Automatic Subscription Renewals" feature.

Upgrades Complete, Info to Know

$spyed:iconspyed: reports, Jul 19, 2007
Quickblog.

We've completed a series of upgrades to the deviantART backend. You should have experienced lagging thumbnails most of the day yesterday as we switched serving to a CDN temporarily to allow for a pretty big burst in growth.

The burst, and the super speed you should already be experiencing but will definitely experience over the coming weeks is due to a major upgrade to our database clusters and an addition of a series of webservers.

For a while now we've been overloaded especially during peak hours. The congested times have lasted for approximately 8 hours per day for the past month or so.

Since the upgrades completed, we've seen a complete resolution to the 8 hour time period in the graphs and an estimated 16% growth in our average hits per second.

Which is exteremely exciting. :)


We are slightly concerned with some stability issues which will be easily resolved if they arise, so expect mild turbulance as these new changes are taking effect. Thumbnail serving will recover completely for all within 3 more days. Thumbnail serving currently should be operating at close to 90% growing over 3 days to 99%.

This has been your first ever update from Costa Rica.

Surfs up I'm out. ;)
