Moderators AY Mod Posted March 22, 2023 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2023 Apologies for the downtime which was at Invision's end. "Downtime Incident Early this morning, our launch configurations that have been in place for some time started failing. An internal utility at AWS that has been in place for years was no longer operating. A work around has been put in place and we are investigating with our AWS account representative as to the root cause of this failure. They do not yet know at this time. Our sincerest apologies for this downtime event. We have monitoring, automatic scaling, and various systems in place to prevent just such an issue. However, with such a low level piece of the AWS systems failing without warning, we were unable to quickly recover. At this time we have no further information but can promise we will work with AWS to determine root cause." 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Huw Griffiths Posted March 22, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2023 Stuff like this happens with lots of websites - I'm not exactly screaming about it. As Bill Shankly is reputed not to have said: "It's not a matter of life and death - it's nowhere near as important as that." For most of us using this site, short outages are a minor irritant - nothing more - we can always log in later, or tomorrow. I've certainly got other stuff stressing me out far more than the status of a hobby website - even a good one, like this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shedmaster Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Hi, There was me assuming that maybe Hornby had not only managed to release something vaguely the right shape, but maybe they'd also managed to paint it the right colour too, the resulting interest from RMWebbers then crashing the site! Or, the only other possibility being that maybe Accurascale had left an obscure rivet off something and actually made an error. I know, unbelievable right? Cheers, Shed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for explanation Whereas I think that if the rest of the internet is working, then it's RMweb! At least it wasn't days like the previous host!

Michael Hodgson Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 If it's a problem with AWS you should follow prototype practice and simply announce it as a signalling failure ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
