Alright folks. We have repaired the other system and it is back online. Everything has been running smoothly so we're going to close this out. Thanks once again for your patience and as always, you can email support@dnsimple.com for assistance if you need it.

Verifying
And we're back! We can now take the other system down for repair and the site will keep working as normal. DNS updates are going out now and catching up quickly.

Update
We've got one of the two systems repaired. Once it is back online we'll do one more failover to get everything back in place and we'll be in good shape for the evening. Thank you once again for your patience this evening folks.

In progress
It's that time folks! We're preparing to perform the failover to allow one of two systems to be taken offline for repair. During this time our website and API will respond with 503 status until the failover recovers which should be fairly quickly this time around. DNS and Redirector services will function normally, but DNS updates will be unable to go out temporarily as we move things around.

Scheduled
Our upstream provider has identified another issue with our production database hardware that will need to be addressed. During this window we will quickly put the site in maintenance mode as we fail over our systems to allow them to be shut down for repair. We expect the impact and downtime to be minimal this time around, but we will have brief moments where the site will be returning 503 status codes for web and API traffic. DNS service will continue to function normally during this window.
