Hello, Hachyfolk!

As part of last week's maintenance, we managed to totally, absolutely break one of our "edge" nodes: these are the infrastructure we deploy across the world to improve your Hachyderm experience. Fortunately, our set up is such that when we lose one of these, you get re-routed to the other hosts.

Naturally, that put extra load on our other edge nodes, so we're in the process of deploying new nodes to get us back to -- and a little beyond -- where we were before.

We'll be rolling these nodes out in this order over the next few days and into the weekend:

- Japan / Tokyo
- US East / Newark (this is where we lost the node last week!)
- EU Central / Frankfurt

As we execute each step, we'll gradually increase traffic to the new node, and only progress further if everything looks good.

If you notice any special bleeps and bloops during this process, let us know!

Infrastructure update:

Alright, the Japan edge zone is looking good -- we're running one old edge node and one new one.

Today, we're on to step 2: we'll add in a couple of replacement nodes (both new) in our US East routing area. This is probably the first time a big chunk of Hachyfolk will see anything, so if something look bloopy or bleepy, please reach out here or in our community Github: github.com/hachyderm/community.

We'll be watching, too! :hachyderm: :blobfoxscience:
