For all IPv6 folks, s.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ now supports IPv6:
$ dig +short aaaa s.wordpress.org wac.0b2d.edgecastcdn.net. dual46.gs1.wac.v2cdn.net. 2606:2800:220:6d:26bf:1447:1097:aa7
Unfortunately, wordpress.org itself won’t support IPv6 for a while longer.

During the migration we realized that the APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. relies heavily on Sphinx…if it is not up and running we fallback to MySQLMySQL MySQL is a relational database management system. A database is a structured collection of data where content, configuration and other options are stored. https://www.mysql.com/. FULLTEXT queries which don’t scale and the API stops working. Previously, Sphinx was running on a single, super old server. Since it is apparently somewhat important to the functionality of the API, we how have HA Sphinx, running on 2, newer servers. Failover should happen automagically.

Next Wednesday, October 24th, there is a maintenance/migrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another.

We will hopefully be able to display an error page instead of just nothing – still working out the details. I don’t have the specific time yet, but once I do, I will post about it here.

There was a database server failure this morning which resulted in some old content being served on WP.org and the associated sites. Things not updating, posts not appearing, etc. No data was lost. Things would have been broken from around 13:21 until 14:00 UTC.

To reduce CPU usage, I have enabled file-based caching on https://codex.wordpress.org/ In theory, when pages are edited, the cache should automatically be invalidation and logged in users should not be shown cached content. If it causes problems, please let me know. Initial reports show CPU usage has been reduced by about 75%
