Billing Portal Maintenance Downtime
We are finishing some infrastructure work soon which had been postponed for months for higher performance on the main pulsedmedia.com website.
The exact timing is not known yet, and the likely downtime should be less than hour but DNS updates might push it for many hours.
This is done to vastly improve performance and capabilities of the backend. We sadly made the mistake of trying to use high core ARM as the frontend, but they simply .... Do not function performantly for this task, despite on paper should have been more than enough. PHP relies on the most expensive path withing ARM CPUs which is not well optimized at all. Newer ARM CPUs are better on this task, but ultimately; Nothing beats x86 CPUs on this task.
We might make a notice when it happens, or might not.
Part of this unannounced scheduling is for security reasons as well as our systems has been on multi-vector prolonged attack for the past week.
