As many of you know, LibraryH3lp has been growing rapidly. This is great! It also means that we've fairly well outgrown our current single-server architecture.
Since the early planning stages, we knew that if LibraryH3lp became heavily-used, it would be best served by a multi-server setup, with clustering and load balancing. You can read all about it in our Code4Lib article. All of this planning means that we're ready to move, and we don't have to radically change too much code.
Now that it's summer, and with a US holiday weekend on the horizon, we feel that the stars are aligned. We'll begin the migration in earnest this weekend. This will represent the initial conversion to the new platform.
We always aim for minimal down-time around upgrades and maintenance windows, but this is a pretty big deal. We'll update our Twitter feed along the way to keep y'all posted. We apologize in advance for any outages along the way, and we'll do our best to keep them brief.
