yay! we got there

fingers crossed that the transition will go smoothly

I've opened the tables a bit early. Things look fairly smooth so far.

yup, so far I didn't notice anything wrong for an hour or so and no lags either

it's looking very promising

Can you tell us a bit about what you changed (without getting overly technical)?

The old stack was one java app running in tomcat. The new one is divided into components. There is a kdice process, xsketch and gpokr. There are also "gateway" processes that scale horizontally. Its all kind of technical.

What it means is that the application can scale horizontally much easier. It also means I can deploy new code seamlessly. Remember when I use to shut down all the tables to push an update? I can do that now without shutting anything down. In fact, I've pushed a few bug fixes today without shutting down. It really just means I can move faster with less disruption.

Nice to see this is alive.

When you go to kdice.com now you don't get the login-screen instantly but have to click to get it. Not a lethal problem, but a loss of convenience. I'm using firefox, if that matter.
