We brought the Instapaper service back up with limited access to archives as a short-term solution while we worked to restore the service completely. Today, February 14, we completed the full recovery of the service.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThe critical system that failed was our MySQL database, which we run as a hosted solution on Amazon\u2019s Relational Database Service (RDS). Here we\u2019ll cover what went wrong, how we resolved the issue and what we\u2019re doing to improve reliability moving forward.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Excellent analysis. I was impacted by this outage and indirectly, you all were as well. I read for over an hour a day at the very least exclusively in Instapaper and I don\u2019t keep a backlog beyond one week of things to read. Posting what I read here is obviously batched. I write to this blog\u2019s Linked section monthly but I find content to share daily.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t send anything to Instapaper for a few days. It was a bummer but this blog highlights how important it is for even small companies to manage databases properly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Medium: The Instapaper service experienced an extended outage between Wednesday, February 9 at 12:30PM PT through Thursday,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2017-04-30T17:54:32Z","apple_news_api_id":"ed1a6825-7680-43c5-a419-a8a623b3a5dc","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2017-04-30T17:54:35Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A7RpoJXaAQ8WkGaimI7Ol3A","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":["https:\/\/news-api.apple.com\/sections\/a6dbab72-c794-3987-8514-c419907b32a3"],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6798","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1LE","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4593,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2015\/04\/20\/linked-instapaper-6-2\/","url_meta":{"origin":6798,"position":0},"title":"Linked: &#8220;Instapaper 6.2&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"April 20, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"via BetaWorks\/Instapaper: Speed Reading Instant Sync Faster Saving That sums it up quite well but if you weren\u2019t an Instapaper user before, now is a great time to try it out.
