Sports Reference Server Move

Posted by Sean Forman on February 19, 2010

It's still to early to say it was successful, but we started directing requests to the new server (named pedro, b-ball is on mikan) at about 10pm ET tonight and so far, I'm not seeing any issues. As I said there is still some work to do, but I think we've managed not to mess things up too badly. Hopefully, you'll notice a quicker response time and improved uptime as well.

    Sean - This is great. PI creates links at least 10 times faster now. Thanks!

    Do you mean the reports run faster?

    I'm referring the creation a link to share a PI search. A complete batting search page used to take a couple of minutes to create a link. Just now it took only a few seconds. I don't know if that's related to the switch or not, but if it is, thanks!
