An attempt to upgrade prod7 from the 512MB to the 1024MB plan, caused 15 minutes of downtime, and more than 1 hour of FOUC issues + cookie issues + login issues etc.

  • Login/session issues
  • Loading of files/static content/js/css be impossible

What happened:

  • Site was inaccessible for 15 mins while a snapshot was taken.
