Flickr is having a massage. - Flickr

Downtime notice

UPDATE 1
4:13pm PST: Anyone who’s ever worked in software probably knows that time
estimates are tricky. Given that we’d prefer that Flickr be as close to 100%
stable as we can make it before we go back online, we’re going to take more
time to make sure that’s what happens.

The latest estimate from our awesome Ops team is 6:30pm PST.

It’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your precious photos,
plus, there’s the added benefit of giving us all a chance to reflect on our
serious Flickr addictions. Thank you again for your patience.

2:30pm PST: We started on a database upgrade and a few alters to the database
structure last night. Given our scale, work like this takes a long time, and
makes a definite impact on site performance.

You may have noticed today that the site is having lots of hiccups and that
behaviour is generally pretty erratic. So, we’ve decided to take the site
offline help things settle down. We’re anticipating a couple of hours is all
we need at this point, so, we’re hoping to be back online around 4:30 PST.

Sorry about this! It will be one of those massages that ‘hurts so good’ and
we’ll post updates here as we have them.
