[UPDATE 1 7:40PM EST]
The load balancing is in place so we should see a two times performance increase. Now that the infrastructure is in place I should be able to seemlessly add capacity as we grow.
I know it's been rough the last few weeks with all the down time but I think we're in a much better position now to handle another uptick in users.
Steem On!
===============================================================================
Evening Folks,
We outgrew the previous server and have moved to a new one. This server will be a good home but requires a more complex configuration to load balance multiple instances of the nodejs process.
I am working hard to get it complete and hope to have it up this soon (tm).
James aka Riverhead.
Awesome @riverhead! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
A lot of people use and appreciate the chat.
Therefore, we appreciate all you are doing. 🙏☺️😉
Hope it's not too much of a headache and time consumer to work out!
Steem on 🐳
It's feast and famine :). I go weeks or months without having to do anything and then Steem goes to $2 hahah.
But now I'm not able to run steemit.chat
I don't know what's going on !!
Can you tell me something ? @riverhead
Hi .. I'm new Here, I need a push , thank you for up vote this post
I hope you know how much you are appreciated.
Thanks! Can't wait for the new chat to be up and running. Miss connecting with my Steemit friends on it. :) Thanks again for all of your hard work.
That's nice to hear because I miss to check my #mammasittas channel
💫
Cool. Sent you a message on there, actually, @riverhead.
Received. Great to hear!
Success to you in your work.
There has been a lot of downtime lately, and I'm sure it's frustrating for a lot of people. Do you think we'll have close to 100% uptime after this new server is properly configured?
With the new configuration I am really hoping to have a much more stable setup. I am with you 100% that the downtimes are frustrating for everyone. We are working hard to create a more robust platform.
Glad to hear. Btw, do you think you'll make it to Lisbon in November?
So far I am a go for Lisbon :).
That has always been the goal, yes.
You talk about Chat ???
Well, I encourage you, regards.
Resteeming to let my down line know.
Thanks for the update.
Keep at it. It is a valuable resource to many of us and it is still my chat of choice (sorry discord folks). Thanks @riverhead for keeping us updated.
Thanks papa-pepper. The discord chat isn't for everyone but I'm glad its there. It's a different vibe from steemit.chat. Variety being the spice of life and all that.
Oh yeah. I'm over there too, I just prefer the rocket-chat... after all, it'll take a rocket to get to the moon!
Fantastic! Was wondering what was going on!
yea its been frustrating not having chat but I really appreciate your hard work on not just this but all you do for the Steemit Community. You are appreciated.
SteemON!
Awesome Riverhead, thank you... this is why I vote for you as a witness!
Hardware requirements mainly memory keep growing. Fewer people can allow to them self to run a note. Not sure it sustainable over the long run.
It's has been under heavy load for like forever :(
Thanks a lot I've discovered the Steemit chat yesterday and I really like it very much :D Really appreciate it
@riverhead, I've wondered why Steemit chat is not directly embedded into Steemit.com. A new platform which could combine both social media and blogging could challenge Steemit, please let us know of what you think > https://steemit.com/steemit/@blockrush/is-wildspark-the-steemit-killer-blockrush
@riverhead this is a good news... thanks.
its ready now or it is on process ?

Hey man sent ya a message on SteemIt.chat. Let me know if there is ever anything I can do to help out. I'm well versed with cloud systems administration.
Wheres the infrastructure? AWS?
I just want to ask you for help as many honorable popes, I created a UPVOTED COMMUNITY program, but as you can see in my post when promoting upvoted community, not having seen my post, I want to ask you to look at it even for a while my post HERE !!!
my program wants to help the minnows in steemit but see i do not have enough steem power, i just a minnow too, i have to give them 100% reward every post but my post limit is so fast so i can not upvote many post minnow other. at least I just want you to catch a glimpse of my post so minnow just as I can grow. I am very grateful to the pope like you @riverhead
