Read Only Mode Very Soon We are moving Meta to AWS today, this will involve about 30-45 minutes of “Read only” mode while we copy the DB over.

Just to be clear we estimate running on AWS costs about $1000/month, for this site. It is extremely expensive. (Meta is deployed as an enterprise site on our end.)

Also @dax and @tobiaseigen have reported massively delayed oneboxing. @hawk has reported big delays in desktop notifications as well.

We might have to just live with massively delayed notifications for a while, as @sam is working on another much more urgent internal problem.
