Planned Maintenance: Enhancing Heartbeat Monitoring Stability

We’re excited to announce that we will be migrating our cron job (Heartbeat) monitoring to a new server provider this week. Here are all the important details.

This migration will enable us to optimize our infrastructure and increase the reliability for you, our valued users. The new provider claims an availability of  ≥99.999%.

We’ve decided to migrate due to the increased number of incidents on the side of our current provider. The availability of our service is of the utmost importance.

When Exactly Will We Migrate and What to Expect?

To keep you informed we recommend subscribing to updates on our status page (click on the green bell button in the upper right corner).

We will announce the migration time with an update on our status page, which you’ll receive via email once if you’ve subscribed for updates.

We’ll do our best to migrate the Heartbeat monitoring servers with minimum disruption, however, some short outages (maximum of a few minutes) are possible during this time. You can also receive some false positive alerts.

This step is one of many planned improvements. We value your trust and are comitted to delivering the best possible user experience.
