Complete Server Overhaul, New Affiliate, and Banner Update

[Ifrittuccia]

@BraveDude8 Now I understand, thanks for explaining it to me. ^^

 

[Samhill]

Wasn't the new server supposed to save money?

 

[Plykiya]

@Samhill It did, and then we added on an additional one for good measure to solve the db desyncs.

 

[Samhill]

@Plykiya That was quick. Thanks.

@plykiya
Why didn't you named the other 2 remaining servers Yotsuba and Itsuki?

 

[Plykiya]

@Grumpyfelo Because the quintuplets are supposed to be indistinguishable from one another. Doesn't really work if they're entirely different server specs

 

[NamelessSoldier]

Totally sure the server names were made without any personal bias coming into play (and yes, I'm aware of the numbering theme).

Pretty cool to see how the upgrade process went.

~ Hello desync

 

[Plykiya]

@YumGumYum ... well, at least it's not the db's fault that people are running commands that kill the servers, as opposed to a desync caused by a traffic

 

[YumGumYum]

@Plykiya yay

There was Ddos'ing? Honestly I didn't noticed it much, thought it was my internet being an ass.
Shows this site is just too good that someone had to do something that petty on a site that does one thing.

the site feels significantly faster as a result

It doesn't feel any faster (or slower) to me. Do you collect metrics that actually measure this objectively? E.g., median and 99%ile response times.

1 master database server
1 slave database/image archive servers

Can you stop using master/slave terminology? The industry has moved on. Major databases now use terms like source/replica.

 

[ArtzarB]

servers are multitasking work that was previously assigned to several smaller servers in our previous setup

The database desyncs that made comments disappear, chapters vanish, and following things impossible should be dealt with for good now that our slave servers are significantly beefier.

Shout out to the devs that spent entire days and nights to finish the transition as fast as possible.

Yay! Thanks a bunch. Love y'all, you ppl deserve greatness.

@blurgh123 No. We actually whip them on the basement. They're slaves.
