Lawton Campbell.8517:

Just disabled the APIs temporarily. No ETA (yet) on when they’ll be turned back on.

Distributed systems are hard

thetoothpick.4028:

is everything on fire?

let us know when to panic!

Lawton Campbell.8517:

They’ll probably be back up eventually but definitely not until tomorrow.

Not certain what the actual underlying cause was, need to pour over some metrics and such to get an actual understanding of what happened. Just not tonight. Sorry about the inconvenience

DragonHeart.7201:

Oh that’s pretty sad to read, was already cursing at my tools for being broken. Good luck finding the cause, quite dependent (addicted?) on the API myself, hope it will be back up soon!

RAB.7682:

I see you took the API down. It will be back though? Hopefully I won’t have to reprogram everything on my website.

Elfo Bianco.3786:

Thanks to this situation I can test some codes and exceptions

MaLeVoLenT.8129:

I heard you are accepting tacos to fix the problem?

chaly.7638:

Well.. we do have some data again.
Is it stable already or still work in progress/ last checks?

Thx for your hard work,
Chaly

Lawton Campbell.8517:

Thanks to a sudden influx of taco donations, the APIs have been turned back on.

After some investigation, it seems like the APIs were not the root cause of the underlying issues.

Should be stable unless it explodes in a brilliant ball of fire.

Which I don’t expect it to, but hey, things happen.

Since WA is on the other side of the States can I consult from home? Would do for free too for the experience of working with a development team. Kind of like hey here’s a bug/something that needs balanced this can be done to fix it.

AFAIK we don’t do remote; you’d have to relocate, unfortunately.

Any juicy stories as to what it was? And great way to debug some stuff accidentally!
