Short Downtime Tonight
Chargify will be down tonight (Friday night/Saturday morning) for a short time while we make some database optimizations. This change will result in faster site and API response times.
When: Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 01:00EDT
Duration: Approximately 15 minutes
Why: Database optimizations to improve response times
Expectation: During the downtime, Chargify will return a “503 Service Unavailable” HTTP response.
If you access Chargify via a web browser during the downtime, you will see a maintenance page. Any customers who visit your hosted signup page during this time will also see the maintenance page. The maintenance page directs users to the @billingstatus Twitter account which will be kept up to date during the maintenance. The @chargify Twitter account will also be updated during the window.
If you access Chargify via the API during the downtime, you will receive a response with a blank body and a “503 Service Unavailable” status code in the header.
