We've made another optimization to our shared storage! This time we've upgraded storage metadata to a new, blazingly a fast NVMe pool. This improves performance under heavy loads and improves random I/O operations like search.

The upgrade was made without requiring any maintenance windows or downtime; one of the big benefits of working with powerful clustered storage.

You may not notice an immediate improvement, but we are always working to fine tune our performance and will continue making upgrades to give you the best experience possible.

While we aim to deliver 100% uptime of 100% perfection 😉, real life occasionally intervenes. We built Frame One to be highly resilient and tolerant of component failure, but sometimes technology experiences the hiccups. Our new Status Page is a streamlined place to check the status of all service components, check the history of events, and see upcoming scheduled maintenance.

When we experience a service degradation, we will note the status of the exact component in the Status Page. We will also note all upcoming maintenance windows as they are scheduled.

You can subscribe to status notifications through a plethora of channels including email, SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Webhook, or RSS and Atom feeds. You can even limit your notifications to a specific datacenter. This allows you to subscribe individually or set up a channel on your work chat platform to automatically keep your whole team informed. You can even set up custom workflows using automation platforms like Zapier or IFTTT.

We've integrated the Status Page into our Help Desk, so you can get an immediate glance at overall platform status right in the header. When there is an important notification, you'll be informed by a widget on the lower right of the page.

We hope that the new Status Page is a helpful tool to keep your teams in sync!

We hope you had an excellent Thanksgiving and a relaxing break!

We spent this holiday being grateful for lower latency metadata calls, higher availability, and optimized load balancing. All of which were tuned and improved on our media storage during the Thanksgiving Maintenance.

The first change in this log is our new Changelog! This is the new place to read about the latest updates on Frame One.
