steemit.chat - Now WTF?
[UPDATE 1 7:40PM EST]
The load balancing is in place so we should see a two times performance increase. Now that the infrastructure is in place I should be able to seemlessly add capacity as we grow.
I know it's been rough the last few weeks with all the down time but I think we're in a much better position now to handle another uptick in users.
Steem On!
===============================================================================
Evening Folks,
We outgrew the previous server and have moved to a new one. This server will be a good home but requires a more complex configuration to load balance multiple instances of the nodejs process.
I am working hard to get it complete and hope to have it up this soon (tm).

Thanks! Can't wait for the new chat to be up and running. Miss connecting with my Steemit friends on it. :) Thanks again for all of your hard work.
That's nice to hear because I miss to check my #mammasittas channel
💫
Cool. Sent you a message on there, actually, @riverhead.
Success to you in your work.
There has been a lot of downtime lately, and I'm sure it's frustrating for a lot of people. Do you think we'll have close to 100% uptime after this new server is properly configured?
That has always been the goal, yes.
You talk about Chat ???
Well, I encourage you, regards.
Awesome @riverhead! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
A lot of people use and appreciate the chat.
Therefore, we appreciate all you are doing. 🙏☺️😉
Hope it's not too much of a headache and time consumer to work out!
Steem on 🐳
Resteeming to let my down line know.
Thanks for the update.
Keep at it. It is a valuable resource to many of us and it is still my chat of choice (sorry discord folks). Thanks @riverhead for keeping us updated.
Fantastic! Was wondering what was going on!
Received. Great to hear!
It's feast and famine :). I go weeks or months without having to do anything and then Steem goes to $2 hahah.
With the new configuration I am really hoping to have a much more stable setup. I am with you 100% that the downtimes are frustrating for everyone. We are working hard to create a more robust platform.
Thanks papa-pepper. The discord chat isn't for everyone but I'm glad its there. It's a different vibe from steemit.chat. Variety being the spice of life and all that.
yea its been frustrating not having chat but I really appreciate your hard work on not just this but all you do for the Steemit Community. You are appreciated.
SteemON!
Oh yeah. I'm over there too, I just prefer the rocket-chat... after all, it'll take a rocket to get to the moon!
Awesome Riverhead, thank you... this is why I vote for you as a witness!
But now I'm not able to run steemit.chat
I don't know what's going on !!
Can you tell me something ? @riverhead
Glad to hear. Btw, do you think you'll make it to Lisbon in November?
So far I am a go for Lisbon :).
Hardware requirements mainly memory keep growing. Fewer people can allow to them self to run a note. Not sure it sustainable over the long run.
It's has been under heavy load for like forever :(
I hope you know how much you are appreciated.
Thanks a lot I've discovered the Steemit chat yesterday and I really like it very much :D Really appreciate it
@riverhead, I've wondered why Steemit chat is not directly embedded into Steemit.com. A new platform which could combine both social media and blogging could challenge Steemit, please let us know of what you think > https://steemit.com/steemit/@blockrush/is-wildspark-the-steemit-killer-blockrush
@riverhead this is a good news... thanks.
its ready now or it is on process ?
