Heard this week: a data-center move that nobody noticed
A source involved tells us a host relocated 9,200 sites out of an aging facility into a new region — and the headline outcome was that almost no customer filed a ticket about it.
The method, per our source: dual-write DNS with a 48-hour overlap, replicate databases live, and cut over in 50-site batches during regional low-traffic windows. Total customer-visible downtime came in under 90 seconds per site on average.
The number management cared about: they avoided the roughly $40k in promised SLA credits that the last botched move cost them.
Unconfirmed, but the ops lead reportedly got the rest of the team a bonus.
Watch this: batch-and-overlap is becoming the only migration anyone will sign off on.
