Scheduled maintenance to improve responsiveness

Over the past days we’ve been working to address the performance issues some of you have experienced lately. Starting on Wednesday, January 16, at 12:01 am PST (08:01 GMT), we will take Jaiku offline for approximately 24 hours to complete a set of related maintenance operations. Once things are back up and running, any posts made before December 16, 2007, will be temporarily unavailable as we move them to another database to make Jaiku even faster. Once we’ve completed the move, all your previous posts, feeds, and comments will be made available to you again.

We know there’s never a good time for downtime, but we want to get Jaiku back into top form as quickly as possible, so we can focus on all the other things we have in store for you. Thanks again for your patience, and — as always — let us know if you have any questions.

    I don’t get it. Isn’t Jaiku supposed to be down all day today? It seems to be working fine…

  22. Jyri Says:

    Pat, the team was able to complete the database transfer in a few hours and bringing the service back up went smoothly, so the downtime was shorter than the announced estimate.
