steemit.chat - Now WTF?

in steemitchat •  8 years ago  (edited)

[UPDATE 1 7:40PM EST]

The load balancing is in place so we should see a two times performance increase. Now that the infrastructure is in place I should be able to seemlessly add capacity as we grow.

I know it's been rough the last few weeks with all the down time but I think we're in a much better position now to handle another uptick in users.

Steem On!

===============================================================================

Evening Folks,

We outgrew the previous server and have moved to a new one. This server will be a good home but requires a more complex configuration to load balance multiple instances of the nodejs process.

I am working hard to get it complete and hope to have it up this soon (tm).

Awesome @riverhead! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

A lot of people use and appreciate the chat.
Therefore, we appreciate all you are doing. 🙏☺️😉

Hope it's not too much of a headache and time consumer to work out!

Steem on 🐳

It's feast and famine :). I go weeks or months without having to do anything and then Steem goes to $2 hahah.

But now I'm not able to run steemit.chat
I don't know what's going on !!
Can you tell me something ? @riverhead

Hi .. I'm new Here, I need a push , thank you for up vote this post

I hope you know how much you are appreciated.

There has been a lot of downtime lately, and I'm sure it's frustrating for a lot of people. Do you think we'll have close to 100% uptime after this new server is properly configured?

With the new configuration I am really hoping to have a much more stable setup. I am with you 100% that the downtimes are frustrating for everyone. We are working hard to create a more robust platform.

Glad to hear. Btw, do you think you'll make it to Lisbon in November?

So far I am a go for Lisbon :).

That has always been the goal, yes.

You talk about Chat ???

Well, I encourage you, regards.

Thanks! Can't wait for the new chat to be up and running. Miss connecting with my Steemit friends on it. :) Thanks again for all of your hard work.

Resteeming to let my down line know.

Thanks for the update.

Keep at it. It is a valuable resource to many of us and it is still my chat of choice (sorry discord folks). Thanks @riverhead for keeping us updated.

Thanks papa-pepper. The discord chat isn't for everyone but I'm glad its there. It's a different vibe from steemit.chat. Variety being the spice of life and all that.

Oh yeah. I'm over there too, I just prefer the rocket-chat... after all, it'll take a rocket to get to the moon!

Fantastic! Was wondering what was going on!

yea its been frustrating not having chat but I really appreciate your hard work on not just this but all you do for the Steemit Community. You are appreciated.
SteemON!

Awesome Riverhead, thank you... this is why I vote for you as a witness!

Hardware requirements mainly memory keep growing. Fewer people can allow to them self to run a note. Not sure it sustainable over the long run.

That's nice to hear because I miss to check my #mammasittas channel
💫

Cool. Sent you a message on there, actually, @riverhead.

Received. Great to hear!

Thanks a lot I've discovered the Steemit chat yesterday and I really like it very much :D Really appreciate it

@riverhead, I've wondered why Steemit chat is not directly embedded into Steemit.com. A new platform which could combine both social media and blogging could challenge Steemit, please let us know of what you think > https://steemit.com/steemit/@blockrush/is-wildspark-the-steemit-killer-blockrush

@riverhead this is a good news... thanks.
its ready now or it is on process ?

Hey man sent ya a message on SteemIt.chat. Let me know if there is ever anything I can do to help out. I'm well versed with cloud systems administration.

Wheres the infrastructure? AWS?

I just want to ask you for help as many honorable popes, I created a UPVOTED COMMUNITY program, but as you can see in my post when promoting upvoted community, not having seen my post, I want to ask you to look at it even for a while my post HERE !!!

my program wants to help the minnows in steemit but see i do not have enough steem power, i just a minnow too, i have to give them 100% reward every post but my post limit is so fast so i can not upvote many post minnow other. at least I just want you to catch a glimpse of my post so minnow just as I can grow. I am very grateful to the pope like you @riverhead
