Thread Topic	Upcoming localendar changes, and how they affect you
Thread Body	After 17 years of running on dedicated hardware, localendar is finally moving to "the cloud". Every time our infrastructure requires an increase in scale/capacity, we do the math. What does it cost to procure/host our own servers? Can we depend on cloud infrastructure? While many companies have made this move long ago, localendar has some unique architecture and hosting concerns that have made the decision a tough one. We finally feel the time is right to make this change, and that it will allow us to deliver better performance, scalability, and recoverability going forward. We will be slowly and carefully making this change over the next 2 months. While this transition is in progress, we are instituting a site-wide "code-freeze" while we migrate localendar architecture to "the cloud" Because of this migration, we are temporarily not deploying new changes (except in case of emergency patches). Our target for resuming the release of regular fixes/enhancements is late Summer after we have fully moved to the cloud and decommissioned our existing hardware. While we are striving to make this transition as seamless as possible, you may see brief interruptions in service (usually between 3-5am GMT, and under 30 min, and no more than 1 or 2 per week) if a server you are accessing is being migrated. No existing localendar features should break, but let us know if you see any unusual behavior.
