Pulled the ripcord and promoted the replica to primary. Downside: some work and a bunch of time to set up a new replica Upside: everything should now be working again immediately Still pretty upset at Akamai for doing this without warning. All other recent migrations have been performed with advance notice and maintenance windows with early-fire options. I don't know what happened here — with my MOST important server.

    @overcastfm@mastodon.social seems like a gross oversight on their part for not giving you a warning—but appreciate your quick action

    @overcastfm@mastodon.social I hope they had a hardware issue otherwise that’s brutal.

    @overcastfm@mastodon.social seems odd as Linode are normally pretty good about stuff like that, we’ve just had a month plus notice that a box would be restarted on a specific date so we could schedule ourselves if we wanted to, they flag it in the control panel too. Unless this was unplanned?

    @overcastfm@mastodon.social sounds like an oopsy by one of their ops folks? "We kinda need to do maintenance here but there are people's servers doing bits and bytes... mhh.. let's just roll and hope nobody notices it"

    @overcastfm@mastodon.social on the flip side, as an infrastructure engineer, it’s mind boggling to me how solid things usually were with just a single DB node. I miss those simpler days 😅
