Service Availability and Maintenance
Log monitoring is done using Papertrail with server monitoring done by New Relic. We use Pingdom to monitor availability and responsiveness of the site (available here) Our aim is to carry out maintenance on the servers as transparently to the user as possible. Standard maintenance occurs over the weekend during the early hours of morning (GMT). When maintenance will require interruption of service we will provide 1 weeks notice to all customers.
In the event of emergency maintenance, we will provide as much notice as possible, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service.
Code is continuously tested and deployed on a daily basis.
