RESOLVED: Service Interruption

We’re currently investigating an issue with site availability and system stability. We’ll provide an update as we have more details.

UPDATE 12:55PM CST: The team has identified an issue with one of the database servers and is currently evaluating the system.

UPDATE 1:20PM CST: The team is currently looking at an issue with one of the physical drives in the database server.

UPDATE 2:00PM CST: At this time we’ve restored basic services to sites. The team is still working to get the database servers back to 100%, but sites should be operational.

NOTICE: For the next several hours some of the database slaves will be serving stale data. This will occur while our team works to bring up new slave database servers. If you’re having issues with new content not showing up on your site, this is why. If you’re working to publish new content, and having problems, please contact help@pressable.com and our team can assist.

UPDATE 5:00PM CST: Our team is investigating load issues from the earlier database problems. This is causing sites to be down and unresponsive.

UPDATE 10:00PM CST: Site stability has returned, however, we’re still waiting for the database system to return to 100%.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: For the next several hours some of the database slaves will be serving stale data. This will occur while our team works to bring up new slave database servers. If you’re having issues with new content not showing up on your site, this is why. If you’re working to publish new content, and having problems, please contact help@pressable.com and our team can assist.

UPDATE 8/10/14 7:50AM: We’re still working to get the databases servers back to 100%. During this time database slaves will be serving stale data.

If you’re having issues with new content not showing up on your site, plugin changes not saving, or comments not posting it’s related to this issue.

UPDATE 8/10/14 12:33 PM: We are continuing to work on the database servers. During this time, we have put some changes into place on our Thor cluster that will help improve stability and performance. You may experience a 502 during this time and this will clear once all changes have been finalized. Please contact us through my.pressable.com if you have questions or concerns.

UPDATE 8/10/14 4:25PM: Just as a reminder, we’re not out of the woods with the database issues.

UPDATE 8/10/14 7:20PM: At this time we’ve restored two new database slaves and put them in place for all customers. We’re continuing to monitor the database servers and make sure that things work properly, but early signs are positive. If you’re still having issues, please email help@pressable.com and we’ll take a look.

UPDATE 8/11/14 8:55AM: Overnight we noticed that one of the new servers we put in place wasn’t able to keep up with the demand of traffic. This caused momentary issues where it would serve stale data while other servers would serve the latest data. We’ve now replaced this machine and stability has returned to the systems. If you’re still having issues, please email help@pressable.com and we’ll take a look.
