Upcoming downtime
January 10th, 2008 by AshwinThe new year has brought on a lot of accolades, tons of new users and a lot of great feedback. However, we also noticed a consistent refrain: Buxfer is very cool and useful, but it’s slow - particularly for our international users! Well, that’s no good and it can certainly be a show-stopper.
So, we bought a new very powerful machine and we will be migrating to that server on Sunday. The planned downtime is from 9pm PST to 12midnight PST. If you find Buxfer unavailable or behaving erratically during that time, please cut us some slack :)
This is just the first step towards enhancing the performance of our system. We know there are quite a few places where we can optimize a lot. We will not stop until our interface is as responsive as GMail, for example, is.
Update: The migration has happened, folks, and we definitely feel a speed difference. Do you find Buxfer to be faster? Whatever the verdict, let us know so we will know what’s working and what isn’t!

Hey Buxfer Guys!
Matching GMail’s speed is a very neat benchmark! :)
I love GMail and Buxfer will be next in my list soon!
Best luck!
