Wow, what a day! We have been having some major issues that stem from the efforts we have engaged in lately to become much more scalable. I titled this post what I did because we have all three! And, I am sincere when I say that I am grateful for all three, especially the last. The problems we are seeing and solving are ultimately pains we will not have to repeat. The learning is very valuable. With each day like today, and I pray for the opportunity to live to see many more, our team and our solutions truly do become more robust and worthy of people’s trust.

But with that said, I would like to thank all those who continue to believe in what we are creating at Podango. The DB failure, and subsequent rollback and recovery issues have meant that some podcasters had to enter data and upload content twice. Still others were seeing stats that made them pick up the phone and ask if they REALLY got huge numbers today, or if something went wrong on our side. Others, too, just called to let us know that they were seeing speed issues.

We are now mostly out of the woods… still getting load balanced servers back up. Thanks for all your support. We are growing and learning. We remain committed to building the very most reliable and feature rich podcasting infrastructure to be had. Thanks to you, again, for your help and patience.
