14th Nov 2023 :: Database upgrade

[Jools]

All,

Beginning at 6 am Pacific time, we will start to work to modernize our virtual private server that runs out database. It will move to newer, more powerful hardware that uses lightning-fast NVMe drives (rather than older, traditional HDDs) for storage. Once the move has been completed, the database will be upgraded to MySQL 8.

This should not cause any impact, but as we can't readily test it, I'm posting here for awareness.

This is now complete and appears to have gone really rather well! As ever, any issues, please report if you can.


Cheers,

Jools
