You may have noticed the other day that Twitter had some scheduled downtime. Yes, they scheduled it – you can read about scheduled maintenance on their status blog.
It’s not over though. You’ll also find some scheduled downtime today. Think of it as a chance to catch up on the work you would be doing if you weren’t tweeting.
We’re planning a significant database upgrade that will greatly increase system performance. To do this, we will require two planned maintenance windows: Friday, May 8th from 2p-3p Pacific and again on Monday, May 11th from Noon-1p Pacific.
We’re taking these maintenance windows earlier in the day because of the extent of the changes involved. We want to make sure that we are able to respond quickly and efficiently to any issues that may arise from the work being performed.
So hang in there while Twitter is down, and we’ll see what happens when they come back up.
