NABUUR at a higher speed
NABUUR and Libre Foundation work together on Leadership training
July 13, 2009NABUUR Redesign is Underway!
July 27, 2009Have you browsed around NABUUR this week yet? Noticed anything extraordinary? No? I thought so… But an important change took place ‘under-the-hood’: the NABUUR site has been moved to bigger, faster servers! The occasional visitor probably won’t notice the difference. The regular visitors and Neighbours should experience a better site speed, however. Ever since the NABUUR Drupal site was launched last year, the speed of the site has been a point of attention. Frans and Kester pulled every trick they knew: PHP-errors, memcache, MySQL queries, 404-handling, Varnish and a dozen other ideas came to the table. And when all of that had been done (and helped quite a bit): let’s move the site to a bigger server. Last Monday morning the operation took place: the access to the site was closed for 2 hours, it was made sure no postings were lost, the site was moved and then NABUUR.com was activated again, without any major interruptions. Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of our tech team, I proudly present: NABUUR at a higher speed! For the curious techies: the site is running on 2 new servers now. The first one is a dedicated server for the database. The other dedicated server is the application/http server. Type as fast as you can, our site can handle it ;-)
